These workshops aim to raise awareness and begin the process of developing a working understanding of Aboriginal Australia. Through this, participants will be better prepared to engage in genuine cross-cultural communication and to identify strategies for working together across cultures.
Staff may find some content challenging and sometimes confronting. We encourage all staff to attend these workshops.
All sessions are held at AU2-02 Training Room, Level 2, 101 Currie Street and run from 9.00am – 5.00pm. These sessions are free and open to all University of South Australia staff.
This workshop will build on the discussions staff have had in the Aboriginal Cultural Safety workshops and explore strategies for working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Through a series of case studies we will look at what is appropriate from recruitment through to having staff working in the University as well as strategies for retention of staff.
The workshop will be very interactive in order to explore as many scenarios as possible. It will also refer to UniSA's Reconciliation Action Plan (PDF 3,120kb) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment Policy and give participants an understanding of how we can achieve the goal of being the University of Choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
