Cultural Learning Ground

Walk together in learning

Gowrie NSW Cultural Learning Ground will be a place for all Gowrie NSW staff to access information, resources and training on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island cultures, to build awareness and capacity across our organisation.

It will be a space for our people to come together, share, grow and walk together in our learning. This will be a safe and welcoming platform where culturally inclusive practice is at the forefront of our planning, programming and conversations.

Gowrie NSW Cultural Learning Ground is a program and platform for Gowrie NSW staff only. Login here
