MEETING PLACE: CONNECT, ENABLE, CHALLENGE

This concept visually expresses CAUDIT’s commitment to collaboration within its network and with First Nations peoples. Concentric circles at the centre symbolise gathering places and CAUDIT’s role as a hub for shared knowledge. Patterns within the circles represent the three pillars—Connect, Enable, and Challenge—central to CAUDIT’s mission. Surrounding the motif, figures and yarning sticks illustrate Indigenous and non-Indigenous people coming together in unity and mutual respect, emphasising open communication and collective learning. Zig-zag patterns and dot work flanking the circle evoke the journeys, challenges, and individual contributions that strengthen the network and connect it to Country and community. The design, will be anchored by CAUDIT’s evolving brand colours and prominent red, orange, turquoise and white leaving a lasting impression of connection, welcome, and belonging.
