Day 2 - Wednesday 27th, 11:15am - 11:45am AEDT
Rob Hyatt, Education Manager, Koorie Heritage Trust
The Koorie Heritage Trust delivers training to organisations on building Aboriginal cultural competency. Programs are designed to introduce participants to the history, culture, and identity of Victorian Aboriginal people, fostering an understanding of contemporary communities through awareness of the past. A key component is understanding the diversity of Aboriginal Australia and the complexities of Aboriginality and identity historically and today. This presentation and exercise is a snapshot of Aboriginality and identity that will ask participants to engage with their identity and perspective.
