Take a deep dive into culture, what does it means to you and what does being culturally aware actually translate into with Rhys Paddick, creator of Aboriginal Awareness Programs. Rhys shares how he began this work by returning to his own school as an Aboriginal Education Officer and how this led to where he is today. After challenging what culture actually means, Rhys goes on to move the discussion to answer the ‘so what?’ question of how cultural awareness can be applied and how he is developing a specific program with this aim. Rhys talks about how aboriginal people ‘walk between two worlds’ and he invites you to do the same. There is a wealth of knowledge and insight into Aboriginal culture and way of life and thinking that comes from this very free flowing and engaging conversation.
