In October 2024, something extraordinary unfolded across Gulkula, Buymarr, and Yirrkala in East Arnhem Land. Co-hosted by respected leaders Rärriwuy Hick and Sylvia Nulpinditj, Gathanmi - a groundbreaking three-day gathering - brought together 28 Indigenous entrepreneurs for a transformative journey where cultural traditions met business innovation. Discover how this powerful coming together sparked new possibilities in the inspiring video below.
“Having her own business made me realise that she proves herself to older business. Gave me an understanding of how to run a business and now I know about what being a sole trader is and how to do it. This training was very amazing and gave us understanding. We can share this with our family and friends and we can become teachers in our own community. I've been talking with my brother about starting a business but I didn't know what to do. Now I know step by step. I can see what to do about it.”
