Being Allies?

The starting point for this discussion will be the question of negotiating non- Indigenous support of Indigenous struggles in Australia under the prevailing colonising conditions. Clare will discuss historical and contemporary examples which illustrate the fraught nature of negotiations between non-Indigenous supporters and Indigenous peoples about the nature of that support. Sources of tension, the work put in to maintain activist/ally relationships, and the qualities of these relationships will be explored.

Thanks to Manukau City Council

We've been especially lucky with sponsorship lately. Thanks to the Manukau City Council, Christine was able to attend the very large Community Economic Development Conference in Waitakere last week. Lots of content, including input from overseas, which stimulated our thinking about how social enterprise activities can help make the community sector more financially sustainable. Once the organisers have recovered a bit, all of the presentations will be available on the website.

Admittedly the 100 plus people at the Drupal South Conference were more than a little biased towards the Drupal Content Management System for creating websites but the 3 days in Wellington confirmed for me that Drupal has amazing potential for empowering community organisations with their own affordable and manageable websites.

In a Content Management System the users put in their own content.

Drupal!

We're moving ahead with our website learning! This weekend I'm off to a DrupalSouth conference for people who use the Drupal Content Management system to make websites (that's us here at AWEA) and, just to mention some well-known ones so you can see what I mean:
