Theme: Indigenous People
Presentation:
Rather than merely exploring the importance of Aboriginal perspectives, the session will offer examples and insights into adapting Training Package rules to accommodate these perspectives effectively.
Drawing from research and real-world experiences, participants will learn how to tailor education programs in a manner that is responsive, innovative, and reflective of the needs of Aboriginal communities, being mindful that it isn't a 'one size fits all' approach.
Through discussions on cultural awareness, curricula co-design, and fostering culturally safe spaces, attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance the educational experiences of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students within the VET sector.
