8:30 - 11:00am November 15 2004 Learning Resource Centre Charles Darwin University Grevillea Drive Alice Springs	Dr Colleen Kwalilak teaches graduate coursework at the University of Calgary, Graduate Division of Educational Research. She has 25 years experience in adult education and is passionate about the value of creating a ‘safe’ environment for adult learners and lifelong learning.	This workshop will focus on the power of life story and the critical importance of recognising that we all have one. Colleen believes that we are all inspired and motivated individuals. We have all accumulated a wealth of resourceful knowledge. To ‘engage’ is to open, invite, and to welcome the stories and experiences of others. If others appear ‘non-engaged’ or ‘uninspired’, this may be because of a failure to ‘co-create’ spaces in our adult education programs – spaces that welcome and celebrate individual stories and diversity. Colleen believes that only when we feel sincerely welcomed will we feel we are being genuinely listened to by others and trust that we do have a place around ‘the circle of rough-hewn stones’. A space has been created for each of you to come and to celebrate the power of story, based on lived experience. There is great knowledge to be found here. Everyone is sincerely welcomed to attend.
8:30am to 4pm 18 November 2004 Crowne Plaza Signatures Room, 32 Mitchell St Darwin	Dr Colleen Kwalilak teaches graduate coursework at the University of Calgary, Graduate Division of Educational Research. She has 25 years experience in adult education and is passionate about the value of creating a ‘safe’ environment for adult learners and lifelong learning.	Dr Kawalilak will discuss how communication across cultures transforms perspectives on adult education and her research on Aboriginal perspectives on adult education, lifelong learning and the Western, linear, competency-based approach to adult education initiatives. She will share her insights into Australian Indigenous adult education gained from her associations with the Kurongkurl Katitjin School of Indigenous Australian Studies in Broome, WA, and how her perspective and practice was expanded by stepping beyond her own culture. The Showcase will also feature NT LearnScope teams presenting their 2004 Australian Flexible Learning Framework e-learning projects. The LearnScope Showcase is part of the NET*Working 2004, Australia’s largest online conference showcasing technology in education and training from 8 – 19 November.
