Law Way®: Indigenous Knowledge in the Classroom- the ICIP essentials

Every classroom holds an opportunity to learn from the world's oldest living cultures, and doing it well means understanding the legal and cultural protocols involved.

With First Nations content now part of the curriculum in some states and territories, and increasingly embedded across schools and universities, educators are asking how to bring Indigenous knowledge into the classroom respectfully and legally. That means understanding Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP): what it is, where it arises in teaching materials and content, and what clearances, consents and protocols are needed before using it.

Join Chloe Hillary, Senior Solicitor, as she covers:

• Why First Nations representation in the classroom matters, and the legal and cultural considerations involved

• Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property: where it arises in the classroom, and how to protect it

• The right clearances, consents and protocols for using Indigenous knowledge, stories, art and cultural material in teaching

• The ABCDE guide to respectfully embedding First Nations Knowledge in the classroom.

This session is for First Nations and non-First Nations educators, teachers, schools, universities, librarians and education providers who want confidence when bringing First Nations content into their classrooms.
