Melbourne Connect's events program offers innovation and inspiration across a range of topics and industries. From academic lectures and debates to graduate exhibitions, innovation festivals that engage the whole city, and cocktail networking events with our entrepreneurial community. Many of our events are open to the public and free to attend, so we look forward to welcoming you to one of our upcoming events.
Reading Country is an engagement project to celebrate National Reconciliation Week. The initiative is organised by allies at Melbourne Connect who are dedicated to enhancing reconciliation through reading and community engagement.
Reading Country provides a unique opportunity for University staff, students and members of our community – both allies and First Nations people alike – to come together and participate in a book group that explores and celebrates works written by Indigenous Australian authors.
To make this project accessible, Melbourne Connect will facilitate the purchase of books at a reduced cost. Each book group will have a facilitator who is well-versed in engaging discussions, but we also encourage free-flowing discussion amongst book group members.
