All Good Things Must At One Stage Come To An End
The last day of the Global Community Forum has finally come. And my, what a big weekend it has been. With speakers from Hugh Evans to Melissa Parke, to the Commonwealth Youth Forum Delegates, the delegates were given an amazing broad spectrum of ideas to think about and to develop into forms of action.
Progressing along
If I had to describe today’s forum, it would be with the following phrases: “Millenium Development Goals” and “Progress”. But The forum wasn’t all about speeches, note taking and being awestruck by inspirational speakers. There were activities – activities such as Ninja Destruction. If you haven’t heard of Ninja Destruction, then I am not sure where you have been.
Afternoon, delight
The afternoon session was kicked off by a debate by the delegates on various themes, including problems in preventing aid and thus the process to help alleviate poverty, and the trade off between development and the environment
And we have take off! Global Community Forum has started.
So after months and months of planning, of calling, of late night shifts trying to get the program together, it has come down to today. Today is the start of a three-day forum, with many inspirational speakers from all sorts of areas.
Why Global Communities are more important now than before
7 more days to go until passionate young Australians hit Perth’s shores for the Global Community Forum! Coincidentally, this week is Anti-Poverty Week. So it made me think about social justice, and fighting for what you believe in.

The power of your personal story
Something that is often talked about at Oaktree, and particularly within the Campaigns team, is the importance of telling your personal story.
Internships and Retreats and Events Oh My!
We’re back! Hope everyone had a great holiday. They never seem long enough though right? Things always get so full on straight away in Semester 2, and Oaktree and Generate are no exception!
Campaigns reflections and the start of something exciting…
When looking at the campaign planned out for the next 18 months, I find myself overwhelmed. The sheer magnitude, skill, and passion which has created this campaign is a testament to the dedication of those involved with the Oaktree Foundation.
