Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are the first nations people of this country and the oldest continuing culture in the world. Their knowledge goes back tens of thousands of years. They have complex and diverse cultures, each with their own unique histories, beliefs and values. As educators, an important part of offering culturally responsive learning opportunities is to better understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, issues and perspectives.

Our dhumbadha munga or ‘talking knowledge’ forum will explore the ways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders learn, develop and reinforce their cultural identity and express and share their stories.

Location: Footscray Community Arts Centre
Cost: Free to members / Non member $25.00 / Non member concession $20.00
