Cultural Centre
Culture will heal us, for these people all have to cope with a very core issue that the Aboriginal world view is not yet accepted in Australia. A good step is for us to instigate culturally appropriate learning as a way to give our people a chance to be in a position to be self-determining in the future. We are indeed instigating a New Beginning!
The WCC has constructed the WSC with the express purpose of promoting the study and understanding of Wiradjuri Culture and will be a very important vehicle in this significant change.
Cultural Appreciation Training
WSC is committed to 'Closing The Gap' between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. In establishing a competitive advantage, the WSC provides a comprehensive Cultural Appreciation course that will assist the public, private and community sector organisations, to engage and interact with Indigenous Australians.
The topics include: Indigenous History, Indigenous Culture, Custom & Lifestyle, Diversity, Current Issues, Stolen Generation, The Apology, Native Title, Economic Reform, Health, Social and Emotional, Wellbeing, Engaging Individuals & Communities, Social Inclusion & Closing The Gap.
The WSC offers half, one or two day sessions, and tailors sessions to meet your organisational needs. For more information, please contact Clinton Scott-Knight.
