You’re invited to tackle the Wicked Which’s of the West Forum – 18th & 19th March 2015, at Hamilton Performing Arts Centre, 113 Brown Street, Hamilton
The Southern Grampians Shire is getting ready to tackle some wicked which’s, and no, it’s got nothing to do with Halloween. The two-day forum will explore and address some of the complex challenges facing community and agriculture in south west Victoria.
Under the Patronage of Sir Gustav Nossal, one of Australia’s greatest ever scientific minds, Council will host a two-day forum to explore our ability to arrive at a shared understanding and a shared commitment for action against a number of identified issues. In a major coup for our region, the forum has attracted some of Australia’s best minds; and will feature presentations from recognised ‘thought leaders’ including:
- Sir Gustav Nossal –Tackling global disease problems
- Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson – Education
- Ange Barry – Marketing regional produce in a global market
- Professor David Pennington – redefining drug and alcohol policy
- David Lord – Marketing regional produce in a global market
- Professor Kevin Smith – Innovation in farming systems
The speakers will set the scene for a facilitated workshop on day two where they will join you to explore the topics in depth and to empower innovation.
Cost to attend the two daytime sessions: $330 (inc GST). All workshop material, morning and afternoon tea provided. Tickets available from Hamilton Performing Arts Centre. Phone: (03) 55730429 Web: www.hamiltonpac.com.au
