The Walking Together on Kaurna Country program, delivered by Third Camp, provides an opportunity for educators to engage in professional learning that deepens understanding of Kaurna culture, history and connection to Country. As a Kaurna-owned organisation, Third Camp offers authentic cultural learning experiences that support educators to build cultural knowledge and confidence when engaging with Aboriginal perspectives in education settings.
This professional learning suite (4 Sessions) forms part of CESA’s engagement in the OECD initiative and aligns with the work being undertaken by Flying Start services. Participation will support the ongoing development of educator capability while strengthening CESA’s commitment to reconciliation and its Aboriginal Employment Strategy. As such, it is strongly suggested that each service sends at least one representative.
Morning tea will be provided at each session and a light lunch is also available at Session 1 at Belair National Park.
As a BONUS, each service that attends will be given a gift pack with a range of resources from the CESA Early Years Team!
Principals and leaders are asked to support educator participation and ensure that staff register. It is important to register for each session of this important learning opportunity.
In Session 1, participants will:
- Experience a Welcome to Country and a guided Kaurna Walk on Country
- Connect deeply with land, place and story
- Learn through storytelling, history and shared knowledge
- Reflect on cultural authority and respectful ways of knowing and doing
This immersive experience will establish the foundation for the learning throughout the program.
