Brief Description of Course:

The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness session is a one day course that will provide
participants with a better understanding of the diverse cultural differences in Aboriginal cultures, as well as a basic understanding of the problems facing Aboriginal people in contemporary Australian society.

This interactive workshop provides an opportunity for participants to briefly walk in the
shoes of Aboriginal Australians and allows for individuals to dramatically increase their appreciation, understanding and respect for Aboriginal people, their cultures and
societies.

Key subject areas covered:

The content covers the impact of European colonisation and major features of
contemporary Aboriginal cultures and societies, as well as a local component of events
and issues that have impacted on the Aboriginal tribes of the Bundjalung Nation.

Benefits for participant’s organisation in attending the course:

interacting and engaging with Aboriginal Australians.
