A new workshop has been launched in Sydney to bolster Indigenous literacy. The first participants were from remote Communities in the Northern Territory, who travelled interstate for the inaugural program.
The Talent Pathways Program is an initiative of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF), and has been supported by Lendlease’s Workplaces with Impact Grant. “It is a two-year pilot program to prepare and equip First Nations participants to use their creative skills within their Communities as publishers, graphic designers and or writers,” explains ILF.
