S2E1 Part 2 - Indigenous Education & Corporate Social Responsibility with Children’s Ground
Episode 2
Thursday, 8 July, 2021
Part 2 of 2 - Dr. Marcus Curcija continues the discussion with Jane Vadiveloo, Founding CEO and William Tilmouth, Founding Chair of Children’s Ground. Jane and William have worked together for over 15 years, culminating in the foundation and direction of Children’s Ground. Children’s Ground is an organisation led by Aboriginal communities, creating a new future for children filled with promise, justice, hope and empowerment. Children’s Ground works with children, families and communities that face the greatest exclusion and live with injustice and disadvantage every single day. We unpack how Stakeholder Engagement and Corporate Social Responsibility can empower First Nations people and ensure that the economic, cultural, and social justice first nations people is upheld and promoted. William Tilmouth was born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and is an Arrernte man. A member of the stolen generations, William was taken to Croker Island where he lived and attended school with many other children sent there as a result of Government policy of that era. Insight Into Impact connected with Children’s Ground after watching In My Blood it Runs. A documentary which arose from the work and families who lead Children’s Ground. The documentary follows the story of ten-year-old Dujuan, a child-healer, a good hunter and speaker of three languages. As Dujuan shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him, the audience witness his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fights to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. His grandmothers lead Children’s Ground and key advisors to the film include the Chair, CEO and cultural leaders of Children’s Ground. We encourage you to follow the link below and watch the documentary. We also encourage you to follow the work on Children’s Ground and learn how you can support both these organisations.
