WHAT ARE THEY?

These aren’t lectures or ‘talks’, what we do is performative workshops delivered by trained Indigenous performers and because of that we have the kids totally engaged from the moment we walk in.

 

WHO IS IT FOR?

These workshops are for all primary school kids — not just Indigenous children. We believe every Aussie child deserves the chance to understand and appreciate the culture, history, and knowledge of this land’s First Peoples.​

 

HOW LONG DO THEY GO FOR?

90 minutes 

​

HOW MANY STUDENTS?

We can have up to 32 kids per workshop. We pride ourselves on delivering an intimate and interactive experience  so we cannot facilitate more than this.
