Our School Yarns sessions provide students and teachers with introductory knowledge of Aboriginal culture in Victoria, as well as culturally respectful ways of working with and alongside Aboriginal people, families and communities.
The process is collaborative with one of our experienced Aboriginal facilitators meeting with the designated teachers previous to the session to discuss challenges, content, plans and language. This is followed by a double period workshop with students and a follow up several weeks later to debrief and work with the teachers on next steps and support needed.
