What is Biocultural Education?
Biocultural Education involves understanding how our ecosystems and biological environments impact on Culture. This is particularly important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, who have a longstanding relationship with Country.
YGT Law and Biocultural Knowledge are pioneering a new way where the central purpose is to heal and be connected to Country through our cultural education courses. Our cultural education courses:
-
Provide a culturally authentic, courageous and empowering space where reconnection to Country can happen;
-
Work toward getting the spirit right on whatever Country that we are on in the moment, and healing Country by getting our people back to spirit;
-
Inspire organizations to get back to the purpose of why they have included Indigenous policy, programs and projects to ensure that they make cultural, spiritual and economic sense;
