Sharing culture

Paula

In this digital story, Paula, a Wiradjuri educator, talks about the importance of making a child’s culture visible in her setting and how this enables children’s sense of belonging and learning. Paula shares her experience of not knowing about her own cultural background growing up and how this meant she struggled for a sense of belonging. She suggests that when educators can bring their culture to work, relationships between staff open up to become richer and more reciprocal.
