What’s Involved?
This workshop series will take you on a journey across the lands of the Wardandi, Kaniyang, and Bibbulman peoples, who have lived in the South West for over 45,000 years. These lands, once a seasonal gathering place rich with food sources, continue to hold deep cultural significance.
Participants will explore behind the scenes of the region’s renowned food and hospitality industry, while inspiring innovative, culturally responsive education practices.
Each day will offer a perfect blend of expert-led workshops, cultural immersion and meaningful discussions on innovative food education. You'll discover local providores, connect with Aboriginal culture and gain insight into local industry practices and the region’s culinary scene as you improve your knowledge, practice and skills.
This is more than professional development for teachers, trainers and industry professionals – it’s a chance to explore, taste and learn on lands of the one of the world's oldest living cultures. It will be an unforgettable experience that will nourish both your professional and personal growth.
Don’t miss the opportunity to prepare, produce, and provide new ways of thinking that will impact your teaching, leadership and industry skills.
