When you interview someone at the Risk and Dare youth justice conference, held in a high school, it's tough finding a quiet spot, especially when you only have 10 minutes...
Elise talks about being moved by the story of two women who arrived in Australia as refugees.
“The refugees I’ve encountered are so strong.”
The resilience shown by people fleeing vulnerable situations is the key characteristic Elise sees.
She believes young people in Australia need to hear these stories - stories from really dark places and people who have lived many lives - in order to build their own resilience.
She also believes we are stronger when we tell our own stories.
Storytelling shares lived experience. It gives hope for the future. It lets people learn from other’s experiences and create their own stories as well.
Stories form a human connection.
“That’s important, that human connection.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
