Capacity Building
Capacity building fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment. Communities can initiate cultural education and language resources for sustainable development. Opportunities to create cultural communication technologies as a platform for traditional ecological knowledge.
Strategies for Engaging Culture
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are rich in environmental knowledge and can provide important perspectives when considering the impact of economic decisions on the environment. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples are also a source of sustainability strategies that can contribute to our collective well-being.
Culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people presents a unique view of the world that is distinct from the mainstream. When people are disconnected from culture, this has a deep impact on their sense of identity and belonging, which gives meaning and purpose to people’s lives.
Language is intrinsic to the expression of culture. As a means of communicating values, beliefs, and customs, it has an important social function and fosters feelings of group identity and solidarity.
Keeping culture and language alive at home and in school will reinforce a sense of identity and will build self-esteem among students. Learning and speaking language will enable students more opportunities for studying, working, traveling, and succeeding in their professional life.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives will enhance the educational experiences of non-Indigenous students. It is important to acknowledge and respect each other’s perspectives and new ways of seeing and learning about our world.
