Description


The Blank Page Summit is a gathering near the Billard Aboriginal Community in the Kimberley, Western Australia.


Now in its third year, the summit seeks to bring together young people and community leaders to talk about issues indigenous youth are facing.


Conversations around youth suicide, education, and how young Aboriginal people define success are on the agenda.


I spoke with General Manager of the Men’s Outreach Centre in Broome, Peter Mitchell, about their involvement with the summit and a new program aimed at supporting young Aboriginal men.
