.Profile.
|
I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1968,
and grew up on a beach north of Sydney.
|
...
| I studied a Bachelor of Agricultural
Science at Sydney University before doing a quick lap of the world in the
early nineties. |
.
...
| I returned to Australia and moved
to Brisbane to study a Masters of Agricultural Studies. My mum passed
away in 1994 and I changed my focus from research to community development
and adult learning. |
...
| I've been working for the Queensland
government since the mid 90's, helping client groups identify issues that
affect their community and helping them to construct a process to overcome
these issues and create ownership of the solutions. I've worked with
rural communities, city suits, and now indigenous brothers and sisters.
The same processes of ownership and empowerment applies. |
...
..
| I've been married and divorced and
am now studying a Doctorate, along with working full time, and developing
my skills as an artist. You can find out more about me at http://bennfleming.com/. |
.
| I'm planning to stop work with the
government in 3-5 years time, to get more involved in international projects
and spend more time painting, writing and enjoying the moments of each
day. |
