About the event

"Art, Storytelling and Embedding Aboriginal Perspectives" Toowoomba
Join us for a transformative and enriching 4.5-hour workshop in Toowoomba that demonstrates ways educators can include Aboriginal culture in their program through the powerful elements of art and storytelling.

This event is a unique two-in-one workshop that seamlessly blends practical application with theoretical understanding. Led by the esteemed Jessica Staines, Director of the Koori Curriculum, you'll receive practical tools and insights to authentically integrate Aboriginal culture into your teaching methodologies.

Workshop Highlights:
Embedding Aboriginal Perspectives: Learn how to foreground Aboriginal perspectives in your early childhood curriculum. Gain practical strategies to reflect cultural inclusion and respect for Aboriginal knowledge while aligning with children's interests and inquiries.

Exploring Aboriginal Art: Delve into the rich tapestry of Aboriginal art, moving beyond clichés to appreciate its depth and significance. Jessica will guide you through innovative approaches to incorporate authentic and meaningful art experiences into your classroom, ensuring respect for Indigenous practices and ideas.

Storytelling Techniques: Explore the art of pedagogical storytelling, gain insights into curating a First Nations library, critically reflect on the inclusion of yarning circles and Dreaming Stories, and discover strategies for engaging children in bookish play that embraces Aboriginal narratives.

Interactive Learning: The workshop will feature hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, allowing you to connect with fellow educators and share experiences. You'll leave with a wealth of resources and strategies to enhance your curriculum and foster a culturally inclusive environment.
