Millennial MythsSaturday 1pm, Library Theatre Ziggy Roma Fatnowna, Nayuka Gorrie, Amrita Hepi, Conrad Liveris. Facilitator: Dr Rebecca Huntley

Millennials are the most digitally connected generation ever but are often reduced to a punch line in the media and pop culture.

Millennials unite to share why they have chosen to step into the public sphere and how they remain determined to create change.

Our Voices: Disrupting Australian MediaSaturday 1pm, Discovery Lounge Tara Moss, David Ritter, Aaron Smith Facilitator: Flip Prior

The last decade has experienced a surge of digital ecosystems and autonomous news services that celebrate diversity and raise awareness of countless issues amplified by voices previously unheard in Australian media.

Why Language MattersSunday 12pm, Discovery Lounge David Astle, Kylie Bracknell, Kim Scott. Facilitator: Daniel Midgley

Australia is incredibly linguistically diverse yet faces a great decline in traditional language preservation and literacy avenues for migrant communities. The discourse around language maintenance, appropriation, translation and re-awakening technology can feel like a mine field, but is it really that complicated? David, Kylie, Kim and Daniel share their insights into how language can be kept alive and why it should be.

Creative ClimatesSunday 1:30pm, Discovery Lounge Loren Kronemyer, David Ritter, Latai Taumoepeau, Kingsley Dixon Facilitator: Victoria Laurie

In a period of rapid technological change, great environmental and economic uncertainty, the future looks challenging, but do we have the tools to survive it?

IN CONVERSATION

Intimate 60 minute conversations

Digging into ResilienceSaturday 2:30pm, Library Theatre David Astle and Daniel Midgley

Resilience is a word commonly used and hard to avoid. It can be a millstone as much as it is a milestone, asking us to spring back, thrive and rise against misfortunes rather than weathering the storm. Wordsmith David Astle and linguist Daniel Midgley unpick the etymology and currency of the word, exploring why and how it’s become a secret playbook for ‘getting on with it’.

Big thinkers share their world in 40 minutes followed by Q&A

A Fair Go?Saturday 11am, Discovery Lounge Presenter: Kon Karapanagiotidis OAM Facilitator: Terri-ann White

With ever-hardening borders and widening economic inequality, Australia has come face to face with the greatest migrant and refugee crisis since WW2. Kon shares his experience of working with the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) showing how innovative and holistic approaches to human mobility can shift the paradigm of immigration from a burden to a humanitarian and entrepreneurial opportunity. Does seizing the social and cultural capital that immigration brings create a better way forward for asylum seekers in Australia?

Words Matter: Tara Moss talks about the Power of Speaking OutSaturday 4pm, Discovery Lounge Presenter: Tara Moss Facilitator: Sisonke Msimang

In an era of cyberhate, anti-feminist ‘men’s rights activism’ and Trump, speaking your mind can feel like a dangerous proposition. Author and human rights advocate Tara Moss talks about how long-standing stereotypes and power structures, combined with abuse of new technologies, continue to limit the amplification of women’s voices and participation in public life. How do we continue to speak out, maintain energy and optimism in an age of ongoing inequalities, cyberbullying and sexism?

Tara Moss Book Signing

Following the keynote presentation, join Tara Moss in the First Edition Café and Bar for a book signing. Bring your copy of one of her novels or purchase Speaking Out or The Fictional Woman at the signing.

World leader in the marriage equality campaign, Tiernan Brady speaks about taking a different approach to campaigning and his experience with Ireland’s successful ‘YES’ campaign. From kitchen tables to workplaces and television, Tiernan shares how sometimes a cup of tea and the freedom to ask questions, rather than angry debating, is more empowering and more effective as an alternative strategy for creating change.
