Goal 2
Strengthen and nurture
the community of East
Arnhem Land through
djalkiri and gurruṯu
Our approach is centred on the key principles that shape
how Yolŋu people understand the world, their place in it and their
relationship to others through djalkiri and gurruṯu.
We promote Yolŋu knowledge systems, practices and language,
embedding them into our activities.
We create a web of community support and connection for
individuals to promote intergenerational learning.
Goal 2
Priority actions
We will:
- Collaborate with community organisations, identifying needs
and working towards local solutions. - Advocate for community and place-based education that
meets the needs of Yolŋu and support intergenerational
learning, including Yolŋu academic learning through Galtha. - Promote and support the development of first language.
- Document and promote the stories and knowledge of our
elders through Yän newsletters and Yolŋu matha. - Hold community forums to bring together community,
build connections between providers and organisations
and support ways of working together with Galtha as
the framework.
