Embedding Indigenous culture in everyday learning and activities
|
All Australian children, from the earliest age, deserve to learn about our ancient country and the rich and diverse cultures of First Nations people that continue to this day.
By embedding cultural learning in the early years educators can impart the wonder of Indigenous knowledge, and support Aboriginal children's sense of identity and belonging, as well as promoting a culture of understanding and respect towards cultural diversity for all children.
Recent research by Know Your Country revealed a gap in Australian's basic knowledge of First Nations' culture and heritage, with 70 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 24 saying they would have liked better First Nations education when they were at school.
This finding underscores that the next generation should learn more about our unique Indigenous cultures.
