at 8pm to

Presented by
Scott Rankin, 2018 Tasmanian Australian of the Year
There are five Domains of Change which must be tackled together if we are to create sustained positive change in our communities, rather than spinning wheels, more welfare ghettos, and the dulling of potential amongst those in our communities who experience the effects of diminished opportunity. The For-profit sector and the Not-for-profit sector must work together, bringing together shared values and practices.
Scott Rankin is a nationally renowned public speaker, cultural commentator and founder of Big hART - Australia's leading arts for social change organisation. His theatre, documentary and television projects have won multiple awards. He was the 2018 Tasmanian Australian of the Year and Big hART won the 2017 Telstra Awards for both Tasmanian Small Business and Tasmanian Charity of the Year.
Scott will call on examples of the work of Big hART, a cultural justice organisation which began in Burnie 25 years ago and continues to expand nationally and internationally. Scott will also speak to themes in his recent platform paper "Cultural Justice and the Right to Thrive" (Currency Press) and from an unusual childhood growing up on a Chinese junk.
