About the Interplay Project<\/strong>
\nFor the past five years, the Interplay Project has been working with Aboriginal communities in remote Australia to represent their values and priorities in a well being framework to guide policy. This is no easy feat, since Aboriginal knowledge is passed on through stories, and governments mainly speak the language of numbers. So, the Interplay researchers asked Aboriginal people about their values and goals in life, and worked out how these can be measured, in order to show their importance to government.<\/p>\n

The result of this significant work is the Interplay Wellbeing Framework<\/a>, which unites Aboriginal priorities of culture, empowerment and community with government priorities of education, employment and health.<\/p>\n

The Framework, together with its data collection and visualisation tools, will be used to evaluate the impacts of well being services and programs. It\u2019s supported by a series of fascinating video documentaries that are not to be missed.<\/p>\n
