AbSec is excited to announce that after the temporary suspension of all face to face Cultural Connections Workshops due to the COVID-19 health crisis, we will be running six new Cultural Connections workshops around NSW in November and December this year. Since launching the workshops in mid-2018, these workshops have upskilled more than 700 practitioners and carers in the child and family sector, providing attendees with practical skills to work effectively with Aboriginal kids, their families and communities. It’s all part of our shared mission to help Aboriginal kids and young people grow up strong and secure in their culture and connected to family, community, and country.
What will I get from this workshop? Our expert Aboriginal support workers will guide you through how to create meaningful and achievable cultural planning, and how to put it into practice. We’ll also build interpersonal skills to help you consult with Aboriginal families and communities. At the end of the day, you’ll walk away with priceless new skills and knowledge, plus hard-copy resources to take back to your home or office.
How do I book in? Book your place online using credit card or electronic funds transfer (EFT). Get in quick – each workshop is strictly capped at 20 participants to ensure a great learning experience for all involved.
If you’re interested in organising a private workshop for your workplace or community group, please get in touch with us on (02) 9559 5299 or [email protected].
