42. Working with NPY Women's Council

Voices of BlueScope

This episode is a recording of a live-streamed panel discussion with two representatives from NPY Women’s Council, Liza Balmer and Lynette Ross, along with two BlueScope employees, Aneta Pyzel and Yasmine Gardner, who worked with the council through the Jawun Indigenous partnership program. (The online audience consisted of employees at BlueScope Australian Steel Products.)
The panellists discuss the work of NPY Women's Council, what it’s like to participate in Jawun and how we can all educate ourselves about the history and achievements of Indigenous Peoples across Australia.
