It describes the seventh such GEO Work Programme (formerly GEO Work Plan) since GEO began in 2005. As will be described in greater detail in the next section, the process of developing a GEO Work Programme unfolds over a period of approximately one year, from the approval of the last update to the previous Work Programme, to the approval of the new Work Programme by the GEO Plenary. An important part of this process involves broad consultation with all members of the GEO community, including the organizations and individuals who contribute their time and resources to the activities that comprise the GEO Work Programme, GEO Members and Participating Organizations, and many other stakeholders. The present document is the product of this consultation process, which has been guided and overseen by the GEO Programme Board. More specifically, this Summary Document is a compilation of the Executive Summaries from the implementation plans submitted by teams of GEO Members and Participating Organizations. The format for these implementation plans was revised by the Programme Board for the 2020-2022 GEO Work Programme call, building on the experience gained in previous Work Programme cycles. The full implementation plans may be accessed by clicking on the short names of the activities on the summary pages in this document, or via the GEO website.

    1 Top Pick Wednesday 19 August, 9:00pm or later on iview Utopia New Series Set inside the offices of the “Nation Building Authority”, a newly created government organisation responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects, Utopia explores that moment when bureaucracy and grand dreams collide. It’s a tribute to those political leaders who have somehow managed to take a long-term vision and use it for short-term gain. The award-winning series follows the working lives of a tight- knit team in charge of guiding big building schemes from announcement to unveiling. Constant shifts in priorities are the order of the day as the staff are asked to come up with plans for everything from new roads and rail lines to airports and high rise urban developments. In short, Utopia examines the forces that go into creating a very well-designed white elephant. Featuring a stellar comic cast led by Rob Sitch, along with Celia Pacquola, Dave Lawson, Luke McGregor, Kitty Flanagan, Anthony Lehmann, Emma-Louise Wilson, Michelle Lim Davidson and Toby Truslove, Utopia is a series for anyone who has ever been frustrated by bureaucracy – and survived to laugh at the experience. It’s a new year and Tony (Rob Sitch) is determined to focus on big things. Unfortunately, small things get in the way. Meanwhile, Nat’s (Celia Pacquola) attempts to assist a local community unleash a multi-billion dollar government initiative. #utopia Short synopsis It’s a new year and Tony is determined to focus on big things. Unfortunately, small things get in the way.

  • Trains Go Back to Our Earliest Days
    3rd Chief Minister’s Governance Lecture All Aboard: The Journey of High Speed Rail to Canberra DR MICHAEL EASSON FRICS FAICD AM, Chair, City Renewal Authority (CRA) of the ACT CANBERRA AND TRAINS GO BACK TO OUR EARLIEST DAYS Politicians in the early years of federation travelled by train and available vehicles to Dalgety, Bombala, Tumut and Canberra, looking for the ‘ideal spot’ for the national capital. We’re off – it is a special train For Capitals we’re looking For many days, through Devious ways And variegated cooking Each hill and dale, each stream and lake Seems all the more alluring, When sandwiches and bottled ale Alleviate our touring. (Anonymous verse, published in Table Talk in 1902, quoted in Paul Daley, Canberra, New South, 2012, p. 127) Page 2 A VISIT TO THE ARCHIVES Discovered furious debates in the late 1980s and early 1990s about different types of train technology TILT MAGLEV ICE Page 3 TILT A tilting train is a train that has a mechanism enabling increased speed on regular rail tracks. As a train (or other vehicle) rounds a curve at speed, objects inside the train experience inertia. Due to centrifugal force, this can cause packages to slide about or seated passengers to feel squashed by the outboard armrest. If you are standing you can easily lose your balance. Tilting trains are designed to counteract this discomfort. In a curve to the left, the train tilts to the left to compensate for the g-force push to the right, and vice versa. The train may be constructed such that inertial forces cause the tilting (passive tilt), or it may have a computer-controlled power mechanism (active tilt).

  • Mental As... Starts Sunday 04 October
    1 Mental As... Starts Sunday 04 October Mental As... To coincide with 2015 World Mental Health Day on October 10, the ABC will again focus a week of programming across TV, radio and online on mental illness, health and wellbeing; leading discussion, debate and community awareness on an issue that affects all Australians. In 2014, Mental As... was the biggest cross-platform marketing and programming event the ABC has ever held. Attracting a TV audience of 5.9 million Australians over the week, with all radio, news and online platforms enjoying high levels of audience engagement, Mental As... raised $1.5 million for mental health research. Thirteen fellowships were awarded to early career researchers, via the Society for Mental Health Research. This year’s programming highlights include Saturday Night Crack Up, a huge night of family entertainment and fundraising once again hosted by Eddie Perfect, and the return of acclaimed documentary series Changing Minds: The Inside Story, this time emphasising the plight of younger patients. Special episodes of Q&A, Gardening Australia, Catalyst and Artsville will also air on ABC, with The Graceland Happiness Project on ABC2 and dedicated programming across ABC3 and iview. Download the full media kit here. Managing Director Mark Scott said there was strong support in the mental health sector for the return of Mental As... “Last year’s Mental As... was well received by our audience and the mental health sector and we are very confident of making it a success again, with a strong focus on generating even more conversations,” he said. “It was a great role for the ABC to lead that much needed national conversation and we are looking forward to hosting it this year.” abc.net.au/mentalas #mentalas Contact Rachel Fergus on 02 8333 5085 or [email protected] 2 Top Pick Saturday 10 October, 7:30pm or later on iview Saturday Night Crack Up Mental As..

  • Narrative Comedy Screenwriting: Facilitating Self-Directed, Transformative Learning
    NARRATIVE COMEDY SCREENWRITING: FACILITATING SELF-DIRECTED, TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING Susan Anne Cake B.A., Dip. Ed., M.A. Principal Supervisor: Dr Phoebe Hart Associate Supervisor: Dr Sean Maher Industry Mentor: Mr John O’Grady Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Creative Industries School of Media, Entertainment and Creative Arts, Film, Screen & Animation Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Creative practice, critical reflection, narrative comedy, practice-led research, reflective practice, screenwriting, scriptwriting, transformative learning, self-directed learning Narrative Comedy Screenwriting: facilitating self-directed, transformative learning i Abstract This creative practice-led research examines a journey of self-directed transformative learning through immersion in creative and reflective writing processes. Writing narrative comedy screenplays for a television series titled Fighting Fit, enabled the researcher to examine how critical reflection on screenwriting processes and the sources of inspiration for the screenplays facilitated a perspective shift indicative of transformative learning. Mezirow’s three types of reflection, (content, process and premise or critical) were documented in a reflection journal and triangulated against external feedback from a critical community, industry mentor and professional script reading. Critical feedback used to inform reflections on script development provoked a cycle of inquiry into lived experiences which inspired the screenplays. The screenplays themselves were examined to identify how the essence of lived experiences insinuated itself into the development of characters and themes in Fighting Fit. This allowed concerns about identity and alienation within the workplace to be identified and reframed within a humorous perspective. Critical reflection informed by transformation theory encouraged deeper engagement with sources of inspiration and provided insights for examining influences on creative practice.
