15.01.2022 A big shout out to a fantastic group of Australia Awards #PNG scholars who attended the online Australia Awards PNG Reintegration Preparation Workshop last week! The facilitation team here at Square Circle thanks you for the commitment and energy you brought to the three days of discussions over leadership, development impact and social inclusion. We also loved each and every avatar that you brought into the 3D environment! ... Big thanks also to the entire team at Australia Awards PNG and to The University of Queensland International Development for making the workshop happen!

08.01.2022 How has COVID-19 impacted corruption risks in the mining approvals process? Square Circle has been engaged by Transparency International's Accountable Mining Programme to conduct a study on the current and future impacts of COVID-19 on the awarding of mining permits, licences and contracts. If you have knowledge of how COVID-19 is impacting the mining sector we would love to hear from you. Our brief 5-10 minute survey can be accessed here: https://tinyurl.com/ya2bf8g6... Please also feel free to get in touch for an interview or to learn more about our project.

03.01.2022 As we come to the end of 2020, Square Circle continues to grow. We would like to share our excitement as we move into our new space at 200 Mary Street in Brisbane. We still have some boxes to unpack, but the coffee machine is fully operational! Our new space enhances our capacity to collaborate with partners in our research, advisory and learning programs. Square Circle wishes everyone a safe, healthy and joyous holiday season. Please feel free to drop by anytime in the New Year for a coffee and chat.
