Description
This presentation is a discussion based on learnings and observations from remote Aboriginal Australia in regard to culturally-based approaches to maximising social and emotional well-being, sustainable and creative livelihoods, and biocultural health.
Janelle and Annie will discuss some of the achievement and challenges of the Yiriman Project - an inter-generational, ‘on-Country’ cultural program, conceived and developed by Elders from four Kimberley language groups – Nyikina, Mangala, Karajarri, and Walmajarri. The project aims to provide opportunities for youth often facing increasingly serious issues such as self-harm and substance abuse to re-connect with their culture in culturally significant places.
