Connecting to Country

The Connecting to Country program supports projects that enable Western Australian Aboriginal people and organisations to undertake on Country activities that foster the intergenerational transfer of  knowledge, preservation of culture and strengthening of communities.

The program intends to:

• facilitate sharing of cultural knowledge and skills between generations, such as the preservation of language, stories and dance
• recognise Aboriginal cultural leadership within the Aboriginal community and support leadership development in young people
• contribute to stronger community mental health and wellbeing
• strengthen, protect and maintain traditional ways of maintaining cultural knowledge.
