A dialogue with Bill Armstrong former AVI CEO and Doyen Radcliffe Community First Development Regional Manager.

His philosophy is captured in the recent book about his life that will be available for purchase at the event and before at https://everythingandnothing.com.au/ .

Doyen Radcliffe, Community First Development Regional Manager says “Hearing the voice of the people captures a powerful picture that empowers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to have ownership of their future to create a better and brighter tomorrow” (from Stories of Change, 2019).

This event has been organised by Australian volunteer Alumni and Peter Devereux with support from Australian Volunteers International and the One World Centre. Peter Devereux will facilitate the dialogue.
