SUMMARY:Red Shoes Australia installation
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Goldfields will host the Red Shoes Australia installation as part of WA’s annual 16 Days in WA campaign to end family and domestic violence. \nWith one woman losing their life to gender-based violence in Australia every week\, the aim of the Red Shoes installation is to provide a visual representation of the lives lost and a reminder of the continued need for reform around this critical issue. \nRed Shoes Australia is led by Dr Paola Magni\, a finalist for WA 2024 Australian of the Year\, after she saw the public art installation Los Zapatos Rojos made entirely of red shoes in her Italian hometown of Turin. Los Zapatos Rojos was created in 2009 in memory of thousands of young women who had been tortured and killed in Mexico during the 1990s and 2000s. Paola is now collaborating with the installation’s Mexican artist\, Elina Chauvet\, to bring the power of the Los Zapatos Rojos message to Australia. \nOn the Red Shoes Australia launch\, Paola said: “It’s a tremendous honor for me to launch the Red Shoes Project for the second year in Western Australia. Over my years of investigating gender-based violence cases\, I’ve come to realize that improving communication is key to reducing these incidents. \n“Public art serves as a powerful form of communication that can reach everyone\, raise consciousness\, and spark conversations leading to collaborative projects for better support for victims\, their families\, and research aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the justice system. \n“In its simplicity\, painting a shoe in red and placing it in a public space not only evokes memories of victims\, but also fosters healing within the community.” \nThe installation is free and bookings are not necessary. \nMore Information

SUMMARY:Online Lunch with Leaders - You Only Die Once
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nAuspire – Australia Day Council WA invites you to hear how we can all better prepare and support our communities on death\, dying\, grief and loss\, with insight from leading Palliative Care Researcher\, 2023 WA Australian of the Year Professor Samar Aoun. \nDeath and loss is something we all experience in our lives\, yet we very rarely talk about it. In the lead-up to Dying to Know Day (8th August)\, this free online event will look at the holistic approach to end-of-life care that means that every person in every community would know what to do when someone is caring\, dying or grieving. Professor Aoun will reveal the leading research and real-life practices that can be adopted by all towns\, cities\, workplaces\, schools and venues\, to support everyone within them. \nWe will also be joined by Jessie Williams\, Community Manager at CCNB\, which delivers Dying to Know Day every year and supports individuals\, organisations and communities to improve dying and grief. \nRegistration is essential to receive the Zoom link and access the webinar. Please be advised this event may include potentially distressing content and material. \nRegister Now \n\nThe Speakers\n\nProfessor Samar Aoun\nProf Samar Aoun is Perron Institute Research Chair in Palliative Care at The University of Western Australia. She is an inspirational champion for improved palliative care and greatly respected for her leadership and advocacy for a public health approach to palliative care and grief support\, with greater community involvement.  She is known as an innovator and a champion of practice and policy translation. \nProfessor Aoun’s research contribution has earned her international recognition\, helping to improve understanding of palliative care and bereavement care and the opportunities for improvement through the compassionate communities model of care\, with closer integration of clinical and community care aspects. \nHer particular focus on improving the end-of-life journey for under-served groups such as people with motor neurone disease (MND) and dementia\, terminally ill people who live alone\, and family carers before and after bereavement\, is one of the many ways she is making a difference. \nFor palliative care to be accessible to everyone and everywhere\, Prof Aoun’s vision is to make sure that every person\, every family and every community knows what to do when someone is caring\, dying or grieving. For this\, she advocates for improving death literacy and grief literacy and for normalising having such conversations. Death\, dying\, grief and loss are everyone’s business and everyone’s responsibility in the community. \nIn a voluntary capacity\, Professor Aoun is co-founder and chair of the South West Compassionate Communities Network in Western Australia\, President of MND Australia\, President of the MND Association of WA\, and a board member of Palliative Care WA. At the international level\, she is a member of Public Health Palliative Care International\, and the European Association for Palliative Care reference group on public health palliative care. \nAmong numerous awards\, Professor Aoun received the Medal for Excellence from the European Society for Person Centred Healthcare in 2018\, the Centenary Medal in 2003 from Australia’s Prime Minister and more recently 2023 WA Australian of the Year. \n\nJessie Williams\nJessie Williams has held multiple leadership roles to improve dying and grief in Australia since 2015. \nPrevious key positions held include: \n\nBoard Director\, Executive officer\, CEO: The Groundswell Project. The Groundswell Project was established in 2010 to enable social and cultural change in death and dying in Australia.\nCo-Chair: End of Life and Pall Care Stakeholder Engagement Working Group\, Ministry of Health (NSW)\nResearch Centre for Palliative Care\, Death and Dying Advisory Group\n\nJessie\, through her own experience of end-of-life care and grief\, is passionate about advocating that death can be done differently. She encourages grassroots and organisational leadership to adopt non-clinically driven models of social support and end of life education. She is a TEDx speaker and regularly delivers presentations to workplaces and place-based communities. In her TED talk\, she asks ‘Is death the way to bring us back to community’?.
