Panel Discussion The European Exchange | Sydney

Are Australia and Europe more distant than ever?

Join us at events in Melbourne and Sydney for timely re-examination of Australia’s longstanding relationship with Europe.

Will fresh thinking about the exchange between Australia and Europe enliven our future? How can we stay connected across the tyrannies of COVID-closed borders and vast distance? How can we open new opportunities for collaboration?

The events will feature contributors to Griffith Review 69: The European Exchange – co-edited by Natasha Cica and Ashley Hay, and published in partnership with the Australian National University. The Weekend Australian named The European Exchange in its selection of the best reads of 2020. 

Each event will involve a discussion with Q&A – facilitated by Natasha Cica, director of change consultancy Kapacity.org and recognised as one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence.
