Cultural Agility - Building on the Strengths of our Stories
Under the leadership of Managing Director Leann Wilson, the Building on the Strengths of our Stories (BOTS) program is designed to provide greater insight into ‘who we are’ as Australia’s First Nation Peoples. Anchored in the ancient tradition of storytelling, the program engages participants in an enriching journey of truth-telling and shared understanding.
By unpacking the intentions of legislative frameworks enacted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Peoples, a depth of understanding is built around cause and effect and how this shapes current-day circumstances and practices. The approach challenges participants to think beyond the rhetoric and towards a truly shared space of understanding and collaboration.
The two-day workshop is designed to provide insights into the Nations Legislative history and the personal impacts experienced from First Nations People. The approach draws upon the ancient practice of storytelling, where participants are engaged in a journey of discovery, truth-telling and understanding.
It is a remarkable opportunity for workshop participants to build on the strengths of our collective stories and to celebrate our cultures.
Excellent presentation of some very challenging topics. Thought provoking, educational, excellent weaving of stories in the legislation and facts. One of the best presentations that I have been to. I felt engaged throughout the whole day. Thank you.
