The eye-opening experiences of learning about Indigenous cultures
With NAIDOC Week kicking off next week, it’s a time to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s also a time to reflect on these significant cultures and how their stories can be used to empower us in our professional and personal lives. To help us improve our understanding, Clare Hughes from the Institute's Public Policy and Professionalism team sat down with two great guests to talk about the Institute's Indigenous Engagement Plan and their connections with indigenous Australian culture. Guests include Christa Marjoribanks, EGM Product Pricing and Governance at IAG andKate Lyons, Group Head of Sustainability at QBE Insurance. In this episode, the three talk about their journeys in the Northern Territory on the Larapinta Trail, learning and understanding indigenous Australian culture, and much more.NOTE: In this podcast, Kate Lyons and Christa Marjoribanks make reference to a book titled 'Red Emu'. The correct title of this book is 'Dark Emu'.TRANSCRIPT: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud/download-ticket?ticketId=4b374206-53fc-4e31-bc39-f73d7a4449beABOUT THE ACTUARIES INSTITUTE:As the sole professional body for Members in Australia and overseas, the Actuaries Institute represents the interests of the profession to government, business and the community.
