This webinar is for educators who want their learning environments to reflect Aboriginal culture with respect, care, and integrity. Many services rely on posters or displays that feel disconnected from community, and educators are left unsure about what is appropriate or meaningful. This webinar offers clarity and a grounded approach that begins with relationships rather than decoration.

Throughout this session, you will explore how space design, materials, images, language, and everyday routines can honour the cultures and histories of the First Peoples of the Country your service stands on. You will consider what it means to draw on local plants, name spaces in language with permission, and display children’s learning in ways that acknowledge Country and community voices. With practical tools for assessing your current environment, you will identify changes that build cultural safety, belonging, and genuine connection for children and families.

You can expect to strengthen your practice through:
• creating environments shaped by local knowledge, community guidance, and meaningful cultural context
• identifying sustainable changes that build cultural safety and belonging across daily routines and shared spaces
• designing learning spaces that honour Country and reflect the stories, languages, and relationships of your local Aboriginal community

This is environment design grounded in respect, relationship, and cultural truth.
