Culture College’s mission is to develop lifetime cross-cultural relationships for Australia’s youth – unite and empower the next generation of Australia’s leaders today through educational exchange programs to ensure a stronger more dynamic Australia tomorrow:
- Educate students from urban areas with knowledge of and respect for the oldest living culture on Earth, Australia’s Aboriginal cultures, and the spectacular environment of Arnhem Land.
- Provide educational and cultural links between schools in Arnhem Land and schools across Australia.
- Bring sustainable economic activities to the Aboriginal Homelands; making these traditional lands more attractive for Yolŋu to return to their country, critical lands for the preservation of their culture.
- Strengthen the broader Arnhem Land economy through job creation and also increasing the tourism profile of East Arnhem Land.
- Improve the utilisation of East Arnhem’s assets by repurposing existing facilities and giving them a new lease on life.
Culture College is a social enterprise that organises school tours to Arnhem Land to inspire and educate secondary school students about Yolŋu culture and their environment.
Students will have the opportunity to learn and interact with elders and children in the Community and with our Cultural Exchange Program, learn from the Dhimurru and Yirralka Rangers about the environment and conservation techniques and take part in art classes at the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Art Centre.
Arnhem land is one of the most culturally intact and pristine regions left on earth and home to the Yolŋu people and their lands of which they have been the traditional owners for over 50,000 years.
Culture College is partnered with the local traditional owners to provide exceptional tours to schools to realise our aim of creating a new economy for Yolŋu (Yolngu) people in Arnhem Land through educational tourism. Programs are tailor-made for each school’s requirements and the personal development needs of your students.
