Resources, workshops face-to-face or online, and mentoring services

We have resources, workshops face-to-face or online, and mentoring services to slow down the turnover rate of staff by giving them the essential awareness, knowledge and skills to survive the treacherous intercultural Grey Zone that they are required to operate in when working with people from a very different language and cultural group background.

We have decades of bilingual-bicultural partnerships with Yolngu (Aboriginal) leaders and have spent many thousands of hours looking for real solutions and answers for English-speaking mainstream Australians working with them. So our cross-cultural training is practical and very effective in dealing with real everyday cross-cultural issues that many people do not even know are there, till the crisis hits.

This training can save you/your organisation massive amounts of money as it will slow down staff turnover and reduce recruitment costs. It will also deliver real,  positive, measurable outcomes in your program delivery. While creating an atmosphere of positive relationships with the Indigenous people.  In fact, the people’s retention and participation rates in your programs will also improve.

We can design appropriate, truly empowering projects that avoid many of the pitfalls that so often hamper well-intentioned programs. Providing a wide range of practical, resources and services from basic cultural awareness to advanced cultural competency and community development training.

We can share with you over 40 years of lived understanding and experience of traditional and contemporary Indigenous Culture.

Below is a range of different training opportunities we offered in the past. From them, you can see the wide range of things we can provide to meet your personal or corporate needs that will take you deeper than you could ever imagine.

SERVICES FOR YOLNGU

Good cross-cultural communication and collaboration requires understanding of the ‘other’ on both sides. For the last 30 years, Why Warriors has been helping Yolngu to build their understanding of the dominant mainstream culture in their own languages, through radio programs, video, face-to-face sessions and mentoring. We have been providing critical information to community leaders and decision-makers, helping them navigate what is often a complex and overwhelming cultural domain.
