Dear friends, students and colleagues,

Thank you so much for registering and/or attending one or all of our events in the “Powerful Stories” series on March 14 and March 15. We were amazed at the turn-out and felt so lucky to have such an extraordinary group of presenters and audience-members to make the events memorable – in both powerfully emotional and intellectual ways.  

Quite a few of you asked about keeping in touch and/or follow-up events. In that spirit, we invite you to leave your contact details so we can stay in touch about building on the workshop especially and think together about where we might be able to go from here. We think it is important that people ‘opt-in’ to this, so we created a google form. We invite all participants from within and outside the University to join us, and those who were not able make it in the end but want to stay connected. https://forms.gle/byx9vfcQ19EVYfhy6

On this form, if you like, and have not already done so by email, etc., you can also leave some feedback if you want (entirely optional!). If you don’t want to opt-in to future discussions, you can also just leave feedback and do this anonymously. Just leave the name and email blank.

As a reminder, the full program can be found and downloaded here: https://historymatters.sydney.edu.au/2024/03/powerful-stories-program/

And if you did not get a chance to watch the documentary, there’s a spot on the form to let us know and we will send you a free link to watch it.

Thanks so much,

Niro Kandasamy
