Yarn Up Space
An essential component of the WSC is the yarn-up space. This is a culturally sensitive design feature. It is a place where people can come and meet informally.
The aim is to foster stronger social capital as well as generate a closer link to the idea that learning is a matter of interest.
The yarn-up centre is to be a catalyst in generating a thirst for learning as well as be a community safety net.
The spaces above the Yarn-up centre will have materials reflecting the concept of upwardly moving spirits, both in terms of uplifting personal and community strength and also in terms of reflecting the idea of departing spirits finding there way back into the dream time.
To support the spirit of the Wiradjuri people, the materials chosen are from the earth. The core material for this centre is locally made compressed earth brick, local cypress timber and various sustainability components, for example, tanks for rain water, grey water collection systems, green waste separation and compost.
The WCC would like to acknowledge this land that we will meet on is the traditional lands for Wiradjuri and Kalarie people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with the country. We also acknowledge the Wiradjuri and Kalarie people as the custodians of the Wiradjuri nation and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Wiradjuri and Kalarie people today.
