What we offer?
Cultural Learning Journeys
Cultural Learning Journeys provide organisations and participants with the opportunity to learn about and further develop their knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the diversities and Aboriginal Australia both historically and contemporary. All stages of the Cultural Learning Journey Training address the necessity for organisations and individuals to provide more respectful, receptive and culturally safe services primarily through knowledge and reflection. Learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is an ongoing journey and packages can be tailored to meet the specific needs of participants and organisations to ensure the maximum proposed outcome is achieved.
Options
Awareness – provides an introduction to learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Aboriginal Australia by providing factual information about Aboriginal history and basic strategies for communication and relationship development.
Expansion – is an extension of the day one package by providing further learning materials and activities which will assist participants in having a more in-depth understanding of the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families and communities.
Immersion – the cultural immersion provides participants with an in-depth understanding both in the class room and within the community to broaden knowledge and embrace Aboriginal cultural and history through being immersed within community.
