2018 UNESCO Chair Oration

Event Venue:

Deakin Downtown 727 Collins StreetDocklands, VIC, 3008, Australia ( Map )

This year’s UNESCO Chair Oration was delivered on Wednesday 28 November 2018 by award-winning author and moral philosopher Professor Raimond Gaita who delivered a speech titled ‘Different Ways of Saying “We”’.

“It’s in conversation … that we discover, never alone but always together, what it means really to listen and what tone may properly be taken … No one can say what would happen when, through such conversations, we understood better how Aboriginal people experience the crimes committed against them and therefore how that understanding should inform the ways Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people will be able to say ‘we’, truthfully and justly.”
