The Sidney Myer Chair of Rural Education and Communities in partnership with the Society for the Provision of Education for Rural Australia (SPERA) and Rural Education Forum Australia (REFA) will hold a National Summit from September 21 to 23 at Flinders University in 2011. The summit will be an open event.

The main outcome of the summit will be a set of recommendations for advancing the focus of the summit- Rural Futures Matter- for rural communities, individuals and for the nation as a whole.

The recommendations will be produced via a three stage process.

* The first stage involves a 30 minute Critical Input from a researcher or expert, or a representative of an organization or body, with some of the input oriented towards actions/solutions and framing of a recommendation or recommendations.
* The second phase involves summit participants processing the inputs and the recommendations in small groups.
* The third phase involves brief reporting back to the full summit and prioritising recommendations.
