3. EVENT DESCRIPTION3.1 ObjectivesThe primary objectives of our event, "SOLDIER ON, NAIDOC" is to create cultural awareness, promote reconciliation and increase non-Indigenous Australians' knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. We want to host a NAIDOC festival that not only entertains guests but also educates them. We believe that an “Educational Festival” would be the best way to achieve this goal. We would like to pay particular attention to the official NAIDOC Week theme of 'Celebrating Country, Centenary and Beyond' by educating participants about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation in the Border and World Wars. Our secondary objective, according to the client briefing, is to promote and raise the profile of the Koolark Center for Aboriginal Students. Focusing on Koolark courses, central accessibility and student support services. They would also like to use and promote their students' skills at our event. The third objective is shared by both the Client and ourselves as we wish to surpass previous years' NAIDOC events by increasing attendance, sponsors and participants while maintaining the allocated budget. 3.2 Event Scope The Client has asked us to host a weekly event Two-day NAIDOC for approximately 500 PAX, on 18 and 19 June 2014 during the lunch break (between 11.00 and 14.00) at the Northbridge campus of the Central Institute of Technology. They want to carry out the standard formalities such as the welcome to the country speech and the flag raising ceremony, but they also want entertainment such as dance performances. They called for workshops and traders to take part in the event, along with other community members such as Noongar radio 100.9FM. They would also like to use... half of the document... final event to members of the various industries who will participate. Central's community is diverse with many different cultures participating. With our event – ​​SOLDIER ON, NAIDOC, we hope to challenge old stereotypes with new ideas and experiences. We also hope to create awareness for international students who may not be familiar with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. And as part of Central, the volunteers and students in the Diploma of Events class are quite passionate stakeholders as we want this event to be successful to validate our newly learned skills and knowledge. Suppliers, contractors, workshop staff and tradespeople also have a stake in the success of the event as it will help promote their business and create awareness for NAIDOC week. This also applies to artists such as music and dance groups to showcase their talent and promote their companies.
