This extended episode features four peacebuilders who talked about their work at the 2023 Raising Peace Festival. The pursuit of peace takes many forms. Our earlier episodes looked at some of the 'big issues' but it's just as important in much more locally and personally, no matter where you are. This episode explores peace and justice initiatives in Ballarat, in the work of the Knitting Nanas and in peacebuilding among First Nations communities across northern and central Australia.
Dr Larraine Larri is a proud member of the Milton Ulladulla District Knitting Nanas on the south coast of New South Wales. She is an eco-feminist activist artist educator and social researcher and her PhD focussed on the Knitting Nanas.
Madonna Quixley is the co-convener of Let's Talk Peace Ballarat.
Ippei Okazaki is Principal Consultant at One Pacific Dispute Resolution. He is a highly experienced, nationally accredited mediator with a proven track record of serving vulnerable and disadvantaged clients for over 15 years.
Dr Helen Bishop is a Kungarakan woman of the Northern Territory. Helen champions dispute resolution as a means of closing the gap in service provision as a constructive tool to enable greater access to restorative justice, effective governance and peacebuilding practices.
You will also hear from Raising Peace's Gill Burrows, who moderated the discussion.
