Theme: Getting on with the job: Indigenous Engagement in Education

Wollotuka – the School of Aboriginal Studies at the The University of Newcastle in partnership with the 'Aboriginal Education and Training Directorate' from the NSW Department of Education and Training is hosting the 4th National Indigenous Education Conference  from 27 to 29 November 2006 in Newcastle, NSW.

The conference will attract delegates predominantly from the Australian region. Representatives are expected from Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education environments from areas such as policy, curriculum development & teaching and academics & public servants from State and Federal Government departments. The third national conference was held in Ballarat, VIC in 2004.

The conference is Indigenous centred for the empowerment of Indigenous Australians to facilitate  education and interaction through Indigenous-led engagement. In addition to a small number of visionary thought-provoking keynote addresses there will be interactive workshops and knowledge sharing with national and international Indigenous researchers, educators and community leaders. A special feature of the conference will be a Cultural Afternoon including tours and a Cultural Reception at Wollotuka (in the language of the Awabakal people, Wollotuka means "eating and meeting place").
