Connecting with Culture at La Trobe!
Recently, a group of our Aboriginal students had the opportunity to spend a week at La Trobe University taking part in a range of workshops celebrating Aboriginal culture, creativity and connection.
Across the week, students participated in basket weaving, creative art, Kewpie doll making, charcoal drawing and other hands on cultural activities. Just as importantly, they had the opportunity to listen to stories, learn about culture and Country, and hear from the people leading each of the workshops about their own journeys and experiences.
Our students spoke so positively about the week and particularly valued the opportunity to learn more about their own culture, make new connections and try things they hadn’t experienced before.
As Evie shared, “I’m grateful that we had the opportunity to do these things as Aboriginal students.”
Indigo reflected that the group “learnt so much about our culture that we didn’t know before.”
A huge thank you to everyone involved in creating such a welcoming and meaningful week for our students, and to La Trobe University for providing this wonderful opportunity.
