Teacher Professional Learning: Songlines, land and knowledge systems at Heide

This Professional Learning afternoon provides a rare opportunity to hear Wurundjeri Elder Bill Nicholson Jnr share an understanding of songlines, land and knowledge systems at Heide Museum of Modern Art and in the City of Manningham.

Learn from a First Nations educator Heide’s history as a convergence point of five songlines and as a gathering place for the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, Heide’s Traditional Owners, and the site’s importance in maintaining knowledge systems through the ongoing practice of Culture on Country.

Uncle Bill will share the accurate history of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, the traditional owners of the land on which Heide stands and insights into their vibrant continuing culture and traditions. Discover meaningful ways to integrate authentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and knowledge systems into your classroom.
