Then at 6:30pm event to commence with Welcome to Country by Elder Helen O'Neil. Introduction from Peter White (Accelerate Alumni & Australian Council Peer) and Key Note speaker Luke Pearson. 

I am waiting nervously to the side of the room waiting for the announcement. I hate being in the spot light, I like being behind the scenes not on stage.

Around 7pm, British Council's Country Director - Helen O'Neil + Peter White come to the stage to announce 2015 participants. The five participants selected from nation-wide call for applications and were announced as part of a special celebration held at Carriageworks on Tuesday, 1 September 2015. 

Every participant received a gift pack including a Moleskin note book and body care products by Aesop. After event drinks + canapes continued until 9pm.
