Croker Island Workshop Jun 2019
At the end of June, trainers Emma and Amy spent a wonderful week on beautiful Croker Island helping out with the Minjilang Language Project with ARDS Aboriginal Corporation and language teachers at Mamaruni School. We spent the week brainstorming teaching ideas around key topics the group identified, and making resources and lesson to teach about kinship, birds, and literacy in Iwaidja. On our final day on the island, the team put their hard work into practice by leading their first language lesson: teaching kids from all year levels their moieties, skin groups, and different kin terms through fun games and activities. We had such a fun and productive week, and can’t wait to go back in October!
Thanks to ARDS Aboriginal Corporation for inviting us.
