Our Cultural Humility Training is focused on creating awareness and knowledge about First Nations cultural practices and how that translates into a professional setting.
The training aims to enhance cultural competency, foster inclusivity, and promote respect for the experiences and perspectives of First Nations people.
Our one-day Cultural Humility Training is broken into 3 sessions.
HISTORY
The first session in the proposed series looks at First Nations society before colonisation. The reason for this is simple. Most current cultural training does not show that there was 120,000 plus years of cultural practice before English arrival.
LEARNING
This session enables participants to gain an understanding and appreciation for First Nations people's knowledge, wisdom, spiritual/religious beliefs, diversity of tribal nations, kinship structures, cultural protocols and how these are still present in First Nations people social responsibilities today.
ACCEPTANCE
The session also allows for a safe learning environment to be set up for all participants in order for true learning to take place. I am very big on ensuring that all questions and discussions are welcomed no matter how uncomfortable they may be, but this can only take place if people feel safe and know that they will not be judged.
UNDERSTANDING
At the end of this session participants will have an understanding and appreciation of:
The second session focuses on colonial history. From the First Fleet setting sail to our current political question of the Voice.
This session is presented through a First Nations lens and utilises many historical documents to present this view. The stories that are explored come from first-hand historical accounts from early colonial figures, diary accounts and from historians.
The session does cover some darker themes as the events that have taken place over the last 230-plus years have not always been positive. This is why I spend plenty of time building safety and rapport in the first session. This presentation is extremely important in developing participants' understanding of Australian history and deepens participants' understanding of the First Nations people of today.
At the end of this session, participants will have an understanding and appreciation of:
This session focuses on what this means in staff's professional practice and respective fields of practice. How this information can inform the way they work with First Nations clients and employees. It can also be used to build a work plan or engagement strategy.
