ABORIGINAL AWARENESS WORKSHOPS: ABORIGINAL CULTURE AND IDENTITY
Promoting authentic representations of Indigenous culture and identity forms the purpose of the work we do at Yarn Strong Sista. We offer Professional Development workshops that unpack what contemporary Indigenous cultures and identities look like. During discussions about Aboriginal identity, we focus on breaking down prejudices that exist, and the discrimination faced by Indigenous people. By touching on elements both from the past and the present, we provide workshops that challenge existing beliefs and shift the way we think about Aboriginal culture and identity. We will discuss Dr Sue Atkinson-Lopez’s PhD research which focuses on Aboriginal Pedagogy. This workshop includes group work, storytelling and hands on art experience.
