Partnering with organisations that adhere to cultural protocols and ethical practices is fundamental to the Victorian Aboriginal News "way of life"; and in The NED (Nurturing Evolutionary Development) Foundation is a partner in the essence of the word.
The Foundation lent its support to VAN in 2024, supporting our work in a gentle transition to video as well as strong support for our podcasting and radio work.
A huge thanks to Lesley Shuttleworth, who is our key contact at The Foundation for her tireless encouragement.
About The Foundation
The NED Foundation is a non-profit organisation established for the purposes of fostering social and personal evolutionary processes within Australia and the world.
The foundation's mission is to support social and community activists. Its mission statement is:
"To affirm the life-enhancing importance of fostering co-operative and mutually supportive relationships among Australian citizens. We seek the emergence of an invigorated, unifying Australian ethos, and then beyond this we advocate an Australian role in helping humanity steer itself to secure a future on the Earth. In point form we want to see:
- a life-enhancing, inclusive ethos;
- improved linkages, mutual acceptance and co-operation;
- a maximising of our human potential at the levels of :
- the individual person,
- communities everywhere;
- global society; and thus
- steering ourselves effectively and collectively towards a future for our planet, by
- building whatever level of world cultural convergence is necessary to energise effective, comprehensive global action on global issues."
