Workshop 1: Connecting with culture to inspire identity and learning
Rob Hyatt
Manager Education and Visitor Experience
In this session, Rob Hyatt, Manager Education and Visitor Experience, for the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT), Melbourne, will lead a ‘virtual walk’ along the ‘Birrarung Marr’ – (Yarra river walkway), which comes from the language of the Wurundjeri people who originally inhabited the area - 'birrarung' means 'river of mists' and 'marr' relates to 'side'. Participants will learn about First Nations’ history and perspectives on this area of Melbourne. This will be a tour shown through video with Rob as your guide, showcasing learning through the KHT. Rob will discuss and explore the KHT’s vision, programs, resources and activities, and how KHT works with First Nations' youth in developing their cultural identity.
