DJAARA CULTURAL COMPETENCY PROGRAM TRAINING
The Djaara Cultural Competency Program (DCCP), is a unique opportunity to delve into the rich cultural heritage of the Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
Undertaking DCCP training is an enriching cultural experience and a step towards broader social responsibility and cultural awareness. Our program is an immersive cultural experience providing participants with a greater understanding of Dja Dja Wurrung Country’s rich cultural heritage and the living history of the traditional owners, Djaara (Dja Dja Wurrung People).
Participants learn about Djaara cultural protocols, our heritage, the repatriation of language, cultural management, and the impacts of colonisation on Djaara and Djandak (Country). The program covers essential topics such as cultural awareness, significant events, sensitivity, communication, and respect, all delivered by Djaara leaders and facilitators with specific expertise.
The DCCP takes place in the DUMAWUL Creative Arts Hub’s dedicated training rooms and facilities. The program includes both engaging classroom sessions and heading outdoors on Country. Outdoor segments involve guided walking tours at culturally significant sites, allowing participants to partake in traditional ceremonies and witness the vibrancy of Djaara heritage firsthand.
