To raise awareness of the Australian indigenous culture and other international indigenous cultures within CQUniversity Australia. 3. Background Two key elements within the CQUniversity Strategic Plan (2019) are that “We embrace and celebrate diversity” (p. 4), and that we will aim to ‘increase our engagement with indigenous communities, in partnership with community Elders” (p.13). In order to support these aims, the Office of Indigenous Engagement (the Office) of CQUniversity Australia is planning to celebrate the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples in the year 2020 (SDG, 2020), marked by a series of events held on selected CQU campuses. Eight (8) CQU campuses/Study Centres/Hubs from various locations in Australia will be selected to participate in this project. Each of the eight locations will hold an exhibition and speaking events that will focus on selected local Indigenous communities relevant to each campus location (see the map in page 5 below). Each campus will also select one international Indigenous community as their international focus (only one international culture per campus – see Appendix B below for potential resources but students can find their own as well). Please note that each campus will be required to select a different international indigenous community so that no duplication will occur across the campuses. In terms of procurement for the local indigenous element of the project, where possible, indigenous suppliers will be involved. Other suppliers could be considered for the international focus of this project but with the understanding of the role played by the community Elders in this project. The Chair of the Indigenous Engagement at CQU, who will also be the Project Executive, would like to gather further information before finalising the project plan to present to the relevant funding body. The Office agreed it would be good to have the project plan released on the 2020 International Day of Indigenous Peoples on 9 August 2020. The project plan must be completed before commencing the project. The actual execution phase of the project cannot commence before 1 September 2020 and must be completed on or before 9 August 2021 – being the next International Day of Indigenous Peoples.

5. Your Task Professor May Norman, the Chair of the Indigenous Engagement at CQU has tasked you to provide the project board with further information regarding the project. The Chair will act as the Project Executive for the project board. You are to develop a tailored project plan that reflects the project described in this document and also aligns to PMBOK and Prince2 requirements. 6. Project Scope and funding The Project will seek internal funding (up to $100,000), to complete the entire project. However, this amount of funding is not guaranteed. Therefore, cost savings should be identified and implemented wherever possible. Due to time and financial constraints, the Chair has requested that only eight (8) different CQUniversity premises be included in the scope of this project.

ASSIGNMENT – II: RESEARCH PLAN
Guidelines:
Assignment 2 builds upon Assignment 1. Each student will develop a research plan to address the research project proposed in Assignment 1. The research plan will outline how the research project will be undertaken through qualitative methods, quantitative methods, or mixed methods, involving primary and/or secondary data collection. It should explain why the methods are appropriate for answering the research questions, and how the data is going to be collected, analysed, interpreted, and displayed by taking necessary approaches (e.g., interviews, surveys, Census) and using appropriate tools (e.g., Nvivo, Excel, SPSS). There should be a clear logical relationship between the research project and the research methods articulated through texts, visuals, or diagrams. The research plan should also provide research project management approach, including resources, timeline, feasibility, and risk management. The suggested word length is 2,000 words. The APA reference style should be used.
Assessment criteria:
Research methods: Appropriate and sophisticated methods to answer the research questions with quality assurance. (40%)
Articulation: A clearly articulated relationship between the research questions, methods, data and steps to implement them. (30%)
Project management: A project management approach with feasibility and trustworthiness. (20%)
Format: A well-organised structure and appropriate stylistics. (10%)
