Dare to Lead
Attended a PD this week called Koorie Conversations, hosted by Dare to Lead. Wonderful. Enlightening. We were served with a smorgasbord of highlights that included
- Koorie speakers sharing personal stories
- Indigenous heritage & struggles
- Education & the future
- Resources for schools & communities
The audience of educators was challenged in relation to
- What we are doing in our schools & communities
- The legacy our schools will leave to the children in our care, both indigenous & non-indigenous
The day was outstanding - informative & inspiring. A small group of schools was also represented that spoke about their own innovative programs. These were fantastic - acknowledging, considering and celebrating our indigenous heritage and the riches it has to offer the holistic education of all young people in our schools. We left at the end of a full and enriching day challenged and inspired. The next step for many of us will be to find ways for so much of our rhetoric to be matched by actions!
