Kapululangu's inaugural Women's Culture Learning Camp
in Balgo on 23 to 29 August 2010.
Kapululangu Women are inviting 15 women to attend a Women’s Cultural Learning Camp in the last week of August 2010.
This will be 7 days living with the women elders on the Balgo Women’s Law Ground. You will participate in ceremonies with the Elders, visit Country, and learn a little about life in one of Australia’s most remote Aboriginal communities. Plus there’ll be daily Cultural Awakening workshops, Breaking the Silen
ce Circles, as well as opportunities to visit other agencies in Balgo.
The Cultural Learning program promises to be dynamic and invaluable. Especially for women who want a greater understanding of themselves in relationship with Indigenous Australia, and want to assist in improving the relationship between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians.
This is an income-generating venture for Kapululangu. The fee pays the Women Elders as your cultural teachers, and covers workshop expenses (including food). It also provides a small contribution to Kapululangu to help the Elders run their community programs where they pass their cultural knowledge to their younger generations. You get the added bonus of knowing that by attending you will be helping your hosts keep their Law and Culture alive.
