In this plenary you will hear from Leaders from Nations right across Australia, as they share their experiences, visions and plans for renewable energy in their communities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>To top it all off, we are honoured to have two First Nations Leaders from Canada, Chief Gordon Planes and Melina Laboucan-Massimo, who have endless experience implementing renewable energy projects in their communities. Canada has over 320 projects owned, managed and run by Aboriginal Nations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s so important that we focus on the histories and visions of our First People\u2019s in the community energy sector and the Congress itself will be a way to expand the movement of renewable energy in Aboriginal communities further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this session we will also be joined by; Ghillar Michael Anderson Euahylia Nation (Goodooga, Nth NSW), Ernie Gordon Nyemba Nation (Brewarrina Nth NSW), Dean Morgan Dadaway Nation (Kimberley, WA) and Graham Smith Munangurra (Far Nth Queensland). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-content-slider-element-container av-av_content_slider-b3daf146cc69897880754b33566aabe2 avia-content-slider-element-slider avia-content-slider avia-smallarrow-slider avia-content-slider-active avia-content-slider-odd  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-nav-arrows-visible av-nav-dots-visible av-no-slider-navigation av-slideshow-autoplay av-loop-endless av-loop-manual-endless avia-content-slider2' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:true,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;endless&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:7,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:30}\"><div class='avia-smallarrow-slider-heading  no-content-slider-heading '><div class='new-special-heading'>&nbsp;<\/div><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls' ><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide  avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='left-open-big' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' tabindex='-1' title=\"Previous\"><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"15\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 15 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" aria-labelledby='av-svg-title-3' aria-describedby='av-svg-desc-3' role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<title id='av-svg-title-3'>Previous<\/title>\n<desc id='av-svg-desc-3'>Previous<\/desc>\n<path d=\"M14.464 27.84q0.832 0.832 0 1.536-0.832 0.832-1.536 0l-12.544-12.608q-0.768-0.768 0-1.6l12.544-12.608q0.704-0.832 1.536 0 0.832 0.704 0 1.536l-11.456 11.904z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Previous<\/span><\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide  avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='right-open-big' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' tabindex='-1' title=\"Next\"><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"15\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 15 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" aria-labelledby='av-svg-title-4' aria-describedby='av-svg-desc-4' role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<title id='av-svg-title-4'>Next<\/title>\n<desc id='av-svg-desc-4'>Next<\/desc>\n<path d=\"M0.416 27.84l11.456-11.84-11.456-11.904q-0.832-0.832 0-1.536 0.832-0.832 1.536 0l12.544 12.608q0.768 0.832 0 1.6l-12.544 12.608q-0.704 0.832-1.536 0-0.832-0.704 0-1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Next<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-content-slider-inner\"><div class=\"slide-entry-wrap\"><section class='slide-entry av-av_content_slide-11634f6191bce184f3458d8d77953242 flex_column av_one_third post-entry slide-entry-overview slide-loop-1 slide-parity-odd  first'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Eddie Turpin<\/h3><div class='slide-entry-excerpt entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-square wp-image-1957\" src=\"http:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-180x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/c4ce.net.au\/congress2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/eddie_turpin-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Yidinji, Narjon &amp;

productive and creative meetings in which a few people, or thousands, quickly self-organise to deal effectively with complex issues during a short period of time. Open space technology allows participants to offer topics for discussion and others to participate according to their interest. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The open space plenary at the Congress will employ a variation on this process to harness the wisdom of Congress attendees to generate ideas for action, and through conversation explore what will it take to turn these proposed actions into a program for collective impact.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have ideas to explore with other community energy folks to drive forward the sector, whether it be in the field of campaigns and advocacy, developing legal toolkits, building networks or something else entirely, you are invited to pre-register your ideas (participants will also have an opportunity to outline open space session proposals throughout day one of the Congress). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to a pre-registered sessions \u2018marketplace\u2019, the Congress facilitators will be drawing together insights, themes and opportunities gathered throughout day one to form additional sessions around key themes. All participants will be able to interact in a structured way to explore ideas for action, while moving freely between discussions (the law of two feet).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
