Bridging the Gap Seminar

Quotes about previous seminars

These quotes were taken from a variety of people who have attended the seminar in the past:

Excellent. I wish I had been exposed to these learning's earlier. How much better off would Australia as a nation be if we could give every person, aboriginal/non-aboriginal the gift of understanding and tolerance.
Human Resources - Mining Company

I love the constant visuals on the whiteboard and the fact that you had traditional owners/people included, validating your program and knowledge.
Centrelink- Indigenous Policy Implementation: Darwin 2011

I was raised in predominantly aboriginal areas. My father is a policeman and due to his job I really only got to see the crime associated with Aboriginal people. Although my father tried to explain to me the Aboriginal culture and way of life, what I saw contradicted this. This seminar opened my eyes and I can now see the other side to the Aboriginal culture. It has been a great experience. Thank you.

This message needs to get to the people who influence decision making for the benefit of our first nation peoples.
NGO Community Worker: Darwin 2010

Much more in-depth than the old ‘cross-cultural awareness’ programs from the old days.
Education Department: Darwin 2011

It has brought home to me the value of knowledge/information in Yolngu society and the traditional ways it was disseminated or taught. Also how it can be abused or problematic if not approached correctly.
NT Police Officer

This seminar has changed my entire viewpoint. I didn’t realise how ignorant I was being. Every single Australian should do this course.
Landscape Architect: Darwin 2011

The communication information was particularly helpful. Also talking about attainable solutions to particular situations made it very user-friendly. This course has raised so many questions that I realised I didn't know very much.
Community Store Worker of 11 years
An eye opener - more aware of problems and ways to deal with them.
Solicitor - Aboriginal Land Unit

I learnt so much it is hard to put down on paper. I learnt that Aboriginal people have a very deep and complex legal and economic past.
Office Manager - Land Titles Office

This is especially significant being presented by such a well established, experianced, and active contribution to the Yolngu community - this seminar needs to be presented compulsorily to each non-Indigenous person who works with Indigenous people.
Rural Health Practitioner: Darwin 2010

Very informative, useful and relevant seminar. Well presented.
NGO worker: Darwin 2011

Thank you! Relevant to anyone who is Australian, especially working in communities or with aboriginal people.
