Engagement Blackfella Way
- Kurbingui’s Cultural
Program facilitates a cultural awareness training seminar named “Engagement
Blackfella Way”. This is aimed directly at government services and
non-government organizations that deal with Indigenous people and provides
engagement strategies for workers to use when supporting Indigenous people.
‘Engagement Blackfella Way’ provides an understanding of how non-Indigenous
workers can assist and communicate with Australian Indigenous people. Local
Indigenous people from youth to elders have participated in this event to
offer not only testimonials for the group but to also engage in the
promotion of their culture and break down barriers that hinder them
accessing mainstream agencies. For further information phone Tyron Day on
(07) 3865 1462 or email on
cultural.worker@kurbingui.org.au.
