Cultural Awareness

These Cultural Workshops aim to improve the awareness of Aboriginal culture, to appreciate its beauty, its long history and to acknowledge its diversity from the Western environment we all live in. Recently, we have worked with government agencies, such as the Education and Employment, Port Stephens Council, Defence Agencies and Welfare Providers.

Our philosophy to helping others understand such cultural competencies is to spend time with Aboriginal people. These are not things you learn from books, lectures or the internet. Therefore, our workshops are designed that you spend the day (five hours) with us. The following is a typical workshop.

• Welcome you to our Country (song, dance, language, story, fire)
• Classroom training discussion (Aboriginal circle)
• Lunch (catering is from a local Aboriginal group)
• Aboriginal Site visit
