Learning interpretive and educational skills enables aboriginal guide trainees to share knowledge of Tasmania's heritage with visitors. The program was developed in partnership with The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania.
About the Project
The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania partnership supports a Guide Training Program where trainees learn interpretive and educational skills enabling them to share knowledge of Tasmanian aboriginal heritage with visitors in line with Tasmanian Aboriginal community protocols.
The Solution
