About this KNoT

This workshop introduces a selection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander approaches to learning, showing how Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing - when engaged with from a place of celebration and respect- can complement university study across any discipline and lead to new ways of connecting with each other, Country and history.

Preparation

Consider your project, or a text, theory, or knowledge core to your discipline. During the session we may use this as a context to explore, and it will be a point of reference for your Completion Activity.

What You’ll Learn

The workshop will offer practical examples of how observation, storytelling, hands-on practice, and reflection—core elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems—can enrich your learning journey in the classroom and beyond.
