Running from July 1 to July 8, 2024, and concluding in NAIDOC Week, this intensive course saw five dynamic student teams who fostered new, educational, and community-focused solutions leveraged from the expertise of participating community leaders, Â鶹ֱ²¥ academics and Industry experts such as Landgate and the AFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Indigenous leadership staff, Elders and knowledge holders volunteered to share truth-telling, expertise and lived experiences through yarning circles, presentations with students engaged indeep listening, critical reflection and mentoring sessions to encourage and educate participants throughout the week.
Co-hosted by Dr Shaphan Cox from Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s School of Design and the Built Environment who praised its emphasis on Indigenous perspectives, each student group project inspired and educated through creative mediums and exemplified a proactive approach to \u2018ReconciliAction\u2019.
Some of this year’s projects included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Interactive Video Games<\/strong>: One team developed an adventure video game that immerses players in Indigenous farming and crafting techniques. This project aims to engage users in a fun, interactive way while educating them about traditional practices and cultural significance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Immersive Experiences:<\/strong> Another group focused on creating immersive experiences to bring Indigenous stories and histories to life. These experiences are designed to be engaging and educational, providing users with a deeper understanding of Indigenous perspectives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Educational Children\u2019s Book<\/strong>: A pocket-sized book for children reimagines the classic story of \u2018Goldilocks\u2019 within the context of Australian colonisation. This creative approach aims to educate young readers about history and Indigenous perspectives through a familiar narrative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cultural App for Schools:<\/strong> An educational app encourages primary school students to embrace Noongar culture. The app includes interactive elements and activities designed to promote learning and engagement with Indigenous traditions and values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
