2016 GE Australia – Papua New Guinea Emerging Leaders Dialogue: Outcomes Report

Abstract

The 2016 Dialogue participants seized the opportunity to tackle tough questions of how relationships and understanding between Australia and PNG can be built, as well as form new connections, all while maintaining an enthusiastic spirit of optimism. The format of the Dialogue allows for the creation of meaningful connections and discussions, as well as thoughtful listening and learning, in a manner that transcends digital means of communication. Although new technologies have changed the contours of the people-to people links across our two countries, there is no substitute for meeting people face-to-face.
