A 4-hour interactive workshop during National Reconciliation Week involving practical role play and role modelling scenarios to improve engagement and relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.

Presented by Auspire - Australia Day Council WA and facilitated by a First Nations’ leader within a culturally safe and inclusive space, this workshop applies knowledge, theory and concepts of Aboriginal experiences and perspectives into scenarios and exercises that participants can use in real life today. Some knowledge of Aboriginal history and culture is advantageous, but not essential.

Topics include:

How to engage, communicate and work with Aboriginal people including cultural protocols
Understanding micro aggressions and unconscious bias
Respecting significant sites/heritage areas
Understanding cultural safety and how to work towards it
Sources and solutions to racism
Awareness of white privilege and white fragility.

This is the opportunity to put theory into action and discover how we can all walk together for a positive future. If you feel there are gaps in your knowledge of Aboriginal culture and history, our Bridging the Knowledge Gap workshop might be for you.

Attendees receive afternoon tea and a certificate of participation.
