Lead Beyond Education

Did you know we were in Canberra on the 16 of May? held our Beyond Bride Price series.

Once again, reminding us that Beyond Bride Price is more than a presentation of research findings. It is a space to reflect on the broader implications of those findings for South Sudanese Australian communities, and for other African Australian communities navigating culture, identity, family expectations, and intergenerational change in the diaspora.

The Canberra dialogue was another reminder of why returning research to the community matters.

We are deeply grateful to the community for showing up, listening, engaging, and asking thoughtful questions about Dr Anyier Yuol’s research.

To our community in Brisbane and Adelaide — keep an eye out. Dr Anyier Yuol will be making her way to you soon as we continue this national conversation.

After successful gatherings in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, the Beyond Bride Price dialogues have been eye-opening, thought-provoking, and deeply meaningful for many in the South Sudanese community.

We now look forward to bringing this important conversation to Canberra.

Join us for Beyond Bride Price — a South Sudanese community gathering bringing together dialogue, cultural performances, and intergenerational reflection grounded in research and lived experience.

We are proud to have our young women leaders at the Women Deliver 2026 Conference in Melbourne

Sara Ali, Henrietta Adomako, and Nardu Doe-Lawson are part of a global community contributing to important conversations on gender equality.

From decades of global commitments on gender equality to this week’s discussions at Women Deliver 2026, progress continues to evolve — but it is also being challenged. The very systems designed to advance gender equality are increasingly under pressure.

This is why the presence and leadership of young women in these spaces matters more than ever.

At Lead Beyond Education, we remain committed to advancing girls’ education and strengthening youth leadership as a pathway to lasting change.

We’re proud to be attending the Women Deliver 2026 Conference in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation.

At a time when bold action is needed, we are committed to advancing girls’ education and amplifying youth leadership to build a more just and equitable future.

We look forward to learning, connecting, and contributing to conversations that shift power and drive meaningful change.
