Why Warriors empowers Yolŋu and other First Nation peoples to live out their full potential through restoring control and freedom, providing access to information, and building capacity and understanding between Indigenous peoples and the Dominant Culture
Our goal is to improve the quality and effectiveness of mainstream engagement with remote Aboriginal communities, through training in community development and cross-cultural dynamics.
OUR ACTIVITIES
• Developing radio and online on-demand content for Yolŋu people to understand the mainstream world and expand their knowledge so they can transform their own world, build their own solutions, and engage with wider mainstream education and services. This online content, found at www.djambatjmarram.com, includes English literacy development and pilot content towards developing an Online Yolngu School. We would like to see this content and approach translated for use in other Aboriginal language regions.
• Providing discovery education and training that builds on traditional knowledge which helps the Yolŋu community better understand the dominant culture and modern knowledge (focusing on a variety of subjects according to the questions and agenda of the communities we are working with.) Currently we are engaged in developing resources and providing training in subjects that include, economic development, Native Title and Land Rights, Business practice and management, Good Governance, Nutrition, Chronic Disease and Preventative Health.
• Delivering community development, diversity management, and cross-cultural training to mainstream individuals and organisations across Australia. Those working with remote Indigenous communities, from policy to service delivery, have the most to benefit from our training. Our products and services range from intensive 2 day cross-cultural training seminars to tailored workshops and consultancy services.
