Our shared responsibilities and principles

This informs and guides our work

Belonging

We are open-hearted and kind.
We welcome, celebrate, and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, bodies and abilities.

Learn and evolve

We take time to do both formal social science and natural discovery. We stimulate thoughtful and respectful conversations, find people with different perspectives, take critical reflection on our work, and evolve our thinking.

Safe place for story-telling

We are curious and listening.
We all have unique stories that connect and enrich life. Its vital that each person is enabled to be the ethnographer to their own stories, That means only each person interprets and makes sense of their story.

The planet
We take action in the protection,

restoration and regeneration of bioregional places. Every soul has the right to be born into a liveable planet.

We acknowledge that the land and waters we are living in, is a living entity, it is not as a property or resource, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, elders past, present and emerging, are the unceded ancestral custodians of Australian lands.
As we acknowledge this, we affirm our responsibility to support all indigenous people to restore their livelihoods.
