Acknowledging Country Workshop | Online via Zoom

If you regularly host meetings, deliver workshops, give presentations, or are involved in other professional gatherings, this workshop is for you. The content is not specific to WA, so anyone from across Australia is invited.

An Acknowledgement of Country demonstrates respect for the traditional custodians of the land on which a meeting or event is being held. It recognises the continuing relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their Country.

It is important to start meetings, events, and professional gatherings with an Acknowledgement, and delivering a thoughtful, personalised Acknowledgement is an opportunity to express your, and your organisations, respect for Aboriginal people, Country, and Culture.

This workshop will help you start thinking about what an Acknowledgement of Country means. It will explain the difference between an Acknowledgement and a Welcome to Country, explore when you should be doing an Acknowledgement, and provide tangible tips on how to personalise your Acknowledgement to make it meaningful and respectful.

The workshop is delivered by HCC’s Aboriginal Engagement Coordinator, Tania Harris, in a warm and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to ask questions, so that you feel fully-equipped to deliver your personalised Acknowledgment with confidence and respect.

We welcome you to join this online workshop from wherever you are across Australia.
