Australia’s future community values are determined by the movers and shakers of our community today. Isaiah Dawe from ID Know Yourself is one of these integral leaders.

ID. Know Yourself is an Aboriginal-led not for profit mentoring organisation that supports Aboriginal young people in Out of Home Care (foster care) and those who have contact with the Juvenile Justice system. Their purpose is simple yet powerful, to establish belonging, discover purpose and empower positive choices as they aim is to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma for aboriginal people.

Join Innovatus Media and ID. Know Yourself for a live fireside chat with Isaiah, as he shines a light on the opportunities that ID. Know Yourself has created for Aboriginal young people as well as provides insights into the challenges that the community faces in breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma.

Be inspired by the work Isaiah and the team are doing and learn how the business community can become involved in driving real change. As the session is live, we will also use this as an opportunity for you to further your understanding of how you and your organisations can make a real difference to the future of Australia’s First Nations people.

The fireside chat will look at:
  • An introduction to Isaiah Dawe and ID. Know Yourself: driving real change.
  • The challenges of Aboriginal young people face in Out of Home Care.
  • Uncovering the solutions to breaking the cycle and how the wider community can become involved.
  • Getting on the front foot: a look at how your organisation can encourage diversity, inclusion and understanding.
