Excellence in Partnership (Team) | Kedala Djinanginy Coordination Team [Video]

The Kedala Djinanginy Coordination Team consists of Abdullah Haji-Ahmad and Brendon De Gois. Abdullah and Brendon coordinated the Kedala Djinanginy Day of Looking event, in collaboration with Follow the Dream Program Coordinators, and Polly Farmer Foundation staff, for over 200 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander highs chool students, from Year 9 – 12 and from 28 different schools across the country. Students and staff travelled from metro, rural, remote, and interstate locations, for a full day of fun, immersive, learning engagements at the Curtin Bentley campus.

It was the culmination of eight months of partnership development, and planning, primarily between two Curtin teams (Community Development and the Centre for Aboriginal Studies) and Follow the Dream Coordinators based in Perth and Northam. The success of the event was then contingent upon the team working across all major domains of Curtin, including with senior Indigenous leaders at Curtin.
