Join us online during Indigenous Business Month for a special panel discussion exploring the importance of Aboriginal perspectives in the early childhood and lower primary school space! If you are a teacher or educator of this age group, this is for you!

Bringing Aboriginal Knowledge into classrooms has the potential to set up our children to be lifelong, respectful learners; to teach them to be inquisitive about the world around them, and to see things through the eyes of others; it truly can help to create empathetic individuals who place value on the perspectives of others.

As an Aboriginal business working in the education space, we know though that there is often confusion and even fear about how to go about engaging in this area. This online yarn will hopefully help remove some of this apprehension, as we discuss the 'why' and 'how' to share Aboriginal culture in your early childhood and lower primary classrooms.

Engaging through play and positive cultural immersion experiences, we explore how easy it can actually be, to bring these perspectives into your classrooms.

We will be joined by two incredible Indigenous businesswomen working in this education space, to share their insight into this discussion.
