Following on from their participation in the Deadly Teacher’s Solid Jarjums program, educators at Uniting Adamstown Heights Preschool engaged our team to have an artist in residence within the centre.
Cultural education
What does cultural capacity training or being ‘culturally capable’ mean?
How do you know if you need cultural competency training or cultural awareness training?
Let’s go to the core question: What does it mean to be culturally capable? There are steps to achieving cultural safety within your organisation. With each team member having varying understandings or experiences. To understand cultural safety, we much distinguish it from cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity. This is not a political correctness, it is correcting the lack of education we as Australians have had access to about Australian Aboriginal people and culture. And how our actions today can help close the gap evident as a result of the past.
Aboriginal culture is diverse and dynamic. Cultural capacity training fosters workplace and community cultures to respect and value the skills, experiences, and perspectives of Aboriginal employees and citizens. Tapping into this rich cultural experience and understanding through a lens of cultural competence rewards all those who participate . You can join our scheduled training sessions open to the public – or have a session designed especially for your team.

Training for your team
Training packages are varied in content and delivery to suit the needs of the client and participants ensuring the content is engaging and useful in your work pace.
We suggest the content is reflective of 3-5 key performance indicators identified for each 3 hrs of a training package. We do prefer the 3 step model of: pre workshop actives, face to face training followed by post workshop actives of further reading and viewing. In our experience this format achieve the greatest results in the workplace.
