Teacher Professional Development

Muru Mittigar’s Cultural Awareness Program aims to develop cultural sensitivity within the education sector.

The program will assist Educators to understand why Aboriginal people are sensitive to particular issues e.g. the stolen generation, and provide strategies for discussing and managing these topics respectfully.

We provide a culturally appropriate and safe training environment which affords teaching professionals the opportunity to share meaningful information respectfully.

The presentation has been developed to assist educators to gain a greater understanding and awareness of cultural values and provide strategies to share this knowledge within the classroom.

Using numerous techniques and resources we strive to provide detailed information in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, culture and spirituality. We believe authentic and quality cultural awareness and understanding is fundamental to key learning outcomes.

The program will provide information about the importance of identity and connection to Country/traditional lands, the impacts of colonisation and the changes to Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islander people, communities, land and environment.
