The Collo nation and their cultural rights in today’s diverse World

“Recognition and protection of Indigenous people’s knowledge and resources are profoundly ethical questions based on concepts of universal fairness and justice. It is the Indigenous people themselves who will redefine Intellectual Property Rights.” (Netherlands Centre for Indigenous People, 1994)

Due to my membership and association with the following institutions and organizations:

1. African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific
2. Rotary Club of Kardinia Highton- Geelong -Australia
3. United Nations Association of Australia- Victoria Division
4. IEEE computer society (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)-Victoria division
5. Deakin University –Geelong campus
6. RMIT university –Melbourne city campus
7. Centre for Ethnicity and culture
8. Barwon legal centre –Geelong
9. Other NGOs

I will be presenting a paper in their annual conferences in 2010 under the following topic: “The Collo nation and their cultural rights in today’s diverse World.”

Therefore, I am seeking any ideas and contributions from wider Collo community across the globe. At the end it can be use as Collo Cross Cultural Training Tools or orientation to Collo culture.

I appreciate your cooperation and contribution in advance.
