On 23 November 2023, the Learning Community hosted WynTalk: A Cultural Yarn with Jillian West. Jillian, along with our panel comprising Mayor Cr Jennie Barrera and our MC, Rik Wilson, First Nations Co-Ordinator at Wyndham City, engaged in insightful discussions and offered thoughtful reflections, creating an inclusive and deeply moving session.
During this discussion, Jillian provided insights into the PhD thesis authored by her father, Errol George West. You can access the document here:
