A Place for Culture is a fully funded, free professional learning and development opportunity for educators and leaders in non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services who want to build culturally responsive and inclusive early learning environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.

The opportunity is delivered using a blended model approach that includes a self-paced online learning component to be completed prior to an in-person workshop. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of participation.
