We aspire to educate, entertain and inspire Australians to understand the culture, heritage, and connection to Country of our First Nations people.

Our highly experienced and passionate educators deliver high quality engaging, interactive incursions & event performances. We provide year-level programs, whole school assembly performances and class-sized specialised programs.

Our Mission is to provide passionate and experienced First Nations educators to deliver inspirational and engaging cultural experiences that reflect understanding and respect of our First Nations people.

What We Need

We are seeking to expand our capacity of educators and broaden our scope of activities to offer to early learning centres and schools.
