Cultural Awareness Training Workshops
About Cultural Awareness Training
The Tjindu Foundation facilitates Cultural Awareness Training Workshops to connect non-First Nations Australians to traditional culture, language and history.
Organisations across Adelaide and South Australia can enhance their cultural awareness and understanding of Aboriginal language groups, their cultures and history through our immersive, open and inclusive workshops.
