Syllabus:

This course will take you on a journey of discovery! It will give you an increased awareness and understanding of Aboriginal knowledge, culture and spirituality through immersive experiences and storytelling. You will be transported to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of how Aboriginal People had thrived in traditional culture pre 1788 for millennia. We will also explore the impact of invasion/colonisation and how Aboriginal cultural knowledge can be applied to tackling contemporary world problems such as environmental sustainability, loss and grief - transgenerational trauma, health and well-being, and justice. The journey will end by taking you beyond the common ‘Western’ stereotype of Aboriginal ‘disadvantage’, and show you how the application of contemporary Aboriginal methodologies not only reconnects Aboriginal people to cultural well-being but leads to prosperity .
