The Importance of the Cultural Lens: Embedding First Nations Perspectives into the Curriculum

Come join us for an enlightening event focusing on incorporating First Nations perspectives into the Curriculum. This event will shed light on the significance of the culturally responsive eduator, exploring how to effectively integrate Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum, through pedagogical approaches such as 8 Ways of Learning and an Interconnectedness Framework.

Presented by Torres Strait Islander and experienced educator, Deb Belyea from Zeyawgub, this workshop allows you to explore the world through a First Nations lens. Each participant is gifted with a workshop booklet, A1 map of Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait), Aboriginal Topic Cards, Torres Strait Topic cards, protocol cards, and a range of curriculum resources with First Nations perspectives designed by Zeyawgub, and aligned to the Australian Curriculum V9.0.

Workshop is delivered in 3 sessions:
