Hear from session presenter, Michelle Howard, below:
Our work in the inter-cultural space is new and evolving, I am always keen to learn from others who are grappling with similar issues and challenges. One of the people I have learnt a great deal from is landscape architect, Anne-Marie Pisani. Professionally and personally Anne-Marie lives and breathes walking in two worlds. Her approach to engagement and design is always inclusive and respectful of First Nations voices and knowledge. This will be a powerful and practical yarn!
