Event Details

Join AJ Williams-Tchen on Tuesdays towards the end of each month for a monthly yarning space. Each session will include a short introduction from AJ, about a topic of interest to the group, followed by facilitated discussion.   

Date: Tuesday 24 September

Time: 8pm - 9.30pm

Location: Zoom online

Topic: Practical strategies in sharing cultural perspectives with Aboriginal and Torres Strait children and young people in care. This yarn will be around looking at ways non-Indigenous carers can talk about culture with young people.

Carers are welcome to register for individual sessions. (Other sessions in this series will be held on 23 July, 20 August, 15 October and 26 November.)

The sessions are designed for carers to come together, share ideas, learn and be connected, with an overall focus of caring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people and developing deeper understandings of their cultures.
