Regional Water Champions Event

Icon of a calendar 26 Oct, 2023 | Small clock icon 5:30pm-7.30PM ADST

Join the NSW Regional Water Champions to share in the next installment of storytelling on the importance of water, this time through the personal perspectives of First Nations People including and celebrating an award-winning project for the Aboriginal community of Jubullum.

Three speakers will discuss the importance of water, the connections they share with water and stories from a personal and community perspective.

This will be followed by a discussion panel with our speakers, where attendees will be able to participate and discuss where and how they have experienced storytelling, and its importance within the industry.

This hybrid event is offered online and in seven in-person Hubs across New South Wales and the Northern Territory.  Food and refreshments will be available to those attending the Hubs.
