What we do
Our programs are developed for primary and high schools to take participants on a journey of personal growth and positive thinking, within the framework of culture, wellbeing and leadership. We share stories and discover the importance of identity, learn about all aspects of wellbeing and take the steps to become great leaders through interactive activities.

We also provide experiences and workshops for community events and organisations.

Workshop Overview
Through our professional development and cultural awareness training, we aim to engage participants to further their knowledge in the cultural and value systems of Aboriginal people. Participants will develop an understanding of cultural traditions and the historical context of Aboriginal peoples. How it contributes to the understanding of Australian society and to the reconciliation of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders and non-Aboriginal Australians.
Exploring practical aspects of Aboriginal Cultural Education provides a useful guide for working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. It explores common myths and misconceptions and addresses issues such as personal presentation and conduct, communication, roles, responsibilities, obligations, working within the kinship network, and respect for cultural protocols.
The workshop includes team building and interactive activities to enhance your learning experience and create a positive environment everyone will love.
