In this episode, we talk about the Australia Alumni Network Summit 2021 with the theme: ‘Regeneration Nation: Co-creating a more Inclusive, Innovative & Sustainable Future’. Jose Decolongon, the National Convenor of the Australia Alumni Communities Philippines (AACPh), and the Summit Chair, talk about what to expect in this flagship event and why the Summit is so important to Australia Alumni.
Going beyond recovery, regeneration or regenerative development pertains to 'the use of resources to improve society’s well-being in a way that builds the capacity of the support systems needed for future growth. This is achieved through a series of inspirational lectures by Australian and Alumni speakers with interactive ideation workshops that will strengthen participation within our community and equip us with innovative, inclusive and practical tools and approaches that will increase our capability to change inhibiting narratives and drive positive change in the country.
The Summit has been an annual event since 2018. For the first time, this year it is being organized by AACPh under the auspices of the Australia Awards and Alumni Engagement Program - Philippines (AAAEP-P), and with special partners - the Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (ANZCHAM) and the Philippine Australian Alumni Association (PA3i).
