 Hi, my name is Peter Phillips and I'm an alumni of the University of Newcastle. I graduated in 2012 and I spent my four and a half years at the university campus at Irimba and I had to do a half-year bridging course as I was a late-entrant into university and then I went on to do the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Primary Education. In that time I was fortunate enough to go to the local Steiner Waldorf School and that was my first insight into the gift of what independent forms of education can bring. Moving on from that time I moved over here to where we are right now in Bali, Indonesia. This is a small place called Luk Luk Mungwe but you can see it's also a very, very big place and it's a very, very beautiful place too. And over the last 12 months I have been co-responsible for building, forming, founding our own international learning centre here named Focumflow Learning Centre in Indonesia. What I'm hoping and very confident it will be one of many more to come. Now if we look at making essentially what is a business here because in order to structure yourself and to be responsible in terms of business and an organisation then you must have the appropriate legal and business side of things covered and that has been an ongoing process over the last 12 months to make sure that the 35 children that have come along with us with 14 different nationalities to them and also the 11 local Indonesian educators to make sure that everyone very safe, secure, taken care of in terms of the financial space in terms of personal, professional and organisational development and making sure that we're really leading the way in what is a new form of education a place based international with local culture, local wisdom from here in the Balinese traditions on the land in which we are sitting right now. To give you an example in the last 12 months we all know how the situation has been and very much you there in Newcastle alumni from around the world also in all of your respective fields would have had some sort of significant impact in either someone close to you or networks around you and we know that the one important thing is human connection but that also comes with responsibilities. So how is it that we've been able to continue doing what we've been doing throughout the pandemic responsibly and that is by developing local connections we've made sure that they understand the vision and the mission of what is OpenFlow Learning Center and what it is we stand for and that is authentic relationships that is getting to know one another and getting to actually sit on the land out in times like this where the herons fly over as they track the fields here on generationally instilled wisdom of farming practices so we're really looking to bridge the international community here that are based here these are not families which are coming for a holiday these are families which have rooted here in Southeast Asia here in Indonesia, here in Bali and they truly want to make a difference and they truly want that human connection for their children We've come here to the New academic year and we've just implemented a seven cycle six week calendar so every six weeks we do a rapid sprint and then we have a week break in which we trial other programs such as outdoor leadership such as bringing local community into cleaning the rivers such as building sustainable structures with local workers and upskilling people so we're looking to create place based situations in which people can really come to know themselves to develop their capacities and then share their capabilities with people around them and that's very much what we're doing here in OpenFlow Learning Centre and it all stems from my initial days with the University of Newcastle and I pledge my contribution to the University of Newcastle and the alumni which now spread out across the world and I challenge every single one of you what are you doing in your organisations what are you doing in your professional fields to give back to others
