What does meaningful and effective engagement with Indigenous communities look like? What is involved and what do practitioners need to be careful about? Sarah Lynn Rees and Danièle Hromek yarn with Mat Cornwell of Ngurra Advisory.

Purchase access to the full recording via Vimeo on demand below (+ CPD).

Mat Cornwell on the importance and meaning of reciprocity.

How can we support projects to reflect community ambitions through community engagement? How can built environment professionals contribute in meaningful ways? What do practitioners need to understand in relation to the requirements set out in the National Competency Standards for Architects? How can frameworks such as the NSW Connecting with Country framework support good processes and great outcomes?

Watch Sarah and Danièle for a yarn with Mat Cornwell about all of this and more.

He is Managing Director of Ngurra Advisory, a consultancy that takes a strengths-based, culture-centred approach to working with clients and engaging communities.
