Unfortunately, very little First Nations education is taught in Australian schools. But throughout 2022, our amazing partners at Wanyara were hard at work sharing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and history with students. Wanyara had a busy year with over 10,000 participants across 150 incursions!
In addition to their Paint, Play, Yarn, and Dance sessions in schools, Wanyara also facilitated corporate workshops, youth camps, holiday programs, and a Young Leaders program. We were very proud, together with VicHealth, to support the Cultural Connections program in Shepparton last September, through which Yorta Yorta children were equipped and empowered with an understanding of community wellbeing, health and nutrition. The next part of the program is running these school holidays!
95% of Wanyara's incursions in 2022 said they would book again in the future. So it looks to be an even busier year ahead! To learn more about Wanyara and the different incursion options, click here.
