Education - Culture is Life

Our education projects include curriculum resource development, social impact campaigns and teacher training. All materials are developed by a collective of First Nations educators and young people to inspire teachers to creatively embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, peoples and cultures in their classrooms.

Our education projects aim to:

Embed Aboriginal cultural content, values and approaches to wellbeing
Increase awareness and better understanding of our nation’s true history
Provide access to more Aboriginal-led and co-designed educational materials, training and tools
Increase understanding and skills to support cultural outcomes.

Our team of Aboriginal educators are committed to a process of co-design with young people and partners on all our projects.
