Walking Strong in Two Worlds – Developing Our Future Leaders

The Learning on Country Program (LoC) is a joint initiative between Aboriginal Ranger groups and 14 schools across the Top End, which engages Indigenous students in remote areas of the NT through education, with a focus on ‘both ways’ learning within their secondary school curriculums. It’s this combination of curriculum and culture that builds the skills, confidence and capacity of our future leaders to walk strong in two worlds. The ‘two toolbox approach’ incorporates both Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to deliver culturally appropriate education and training for remote students’ learning and employment pathways, with a strong focus on intergenerational transfer of culture and traditional knowledge.
