This 2-day training will provide you with the opportunity to increase your knowledge and awareness of Aboriginal people and culture, whilst allowing you to be immersed into a number of different cultulral activities.

The training is intended to provide thought provoking content in a ‘safe’ environment allowing everyone the respect and space to feel open about asking questions and having the ‘uncomfortable’ conversations.

The training will assist participants in developing a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture, history and behaviours and how they relate to current Indigenous society.
