This experiences explores dismantles the belief that acknowledging country is only something we do at the beginning of events, assemblies, meetings etc.. and facilitates an understanding of what it looks like in action, at a tangible level in our everyday lives.

Crafting the Gap (Traditional Craft Workshop)
Utilising traditional craft and artefact making as the basis of this experience, this workshop will facilitate a safe space for non Indigbeous people to learn and expand their connection to First Nations Culture, History, Methodologies and Ways of being. This is not the usual cultural intelligence or awareness training, but rather a space themed around deep, respectful and healthy connection to self, others and the land. Participants will leave this workshop with a piece of traditional craft that they have each created from start to finish, representing their growth, transformation and learnings throughout the experience.
Acknowledging Country Meaningfully - Online Learning Experience- NAIDOC Sale
At Yarn Bark we believe that truly Acknowledging First Nations People’s and Country must be weaved into our attitudes, values, behaviors and ways of being and interacting with the world. It is in fact an embodiment, not a task to partake in against our will.
This process of embodiment is about relationship building, deep listening, reconsidering our values, challenging previous learnings and understandings, coming to terms with history, overcoming power dynamics, centering First Nations voices and making intentional and caring effort.
This is depth of content in which we will explore throughout the Acknowledging Country Meaningfully online learning experience.
If you are visiting, living, working or learning on the traditional lands of Australia’s First Nations Peoples, then this online learning experience is for you.
