Connecting with Culture through Learning
Why undertake Cultural Education?
Cultural education fosters greater understanding and respect for First Nations peoples’ rich and diverse traditions, histories, and contributions. By engaging with cultural education, individuals and organisations can develop deeper connections with the First Peoples of Australia, promoting reconciliation, inclusion, and mutual respect. It provides valuable insights into the significance of land, community, and cultural practices. Cultural education is crucial to creating a more equitable and culturally aware society.

About our facilitator

Sean is a proud Pitjantjatjara man, born in Rosebud and raised in the bushland of Gariwerd (the Grampians). His passion lies in sharing his deep knowledge of bush tucker, bush medicine, traditional tool-making, and the art of cultural fire practices.
Sean’s knowledge and skills have been carefully nurtured through teachings from respected Elders, including Bunurong Traditional Owners, fostering a lifelong commitment to landcare and conservation.
With over a decade of experience, Sean has collaborated closely with cultural leaders, conservationists, cultural heritage teams, and landcare groups. His extensive experience includes delivering cultural education programs across private and public schools, camps, and community groups throughout the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas. His familiarity with the land and heritage, coupled with his dedication to learning from cultural leaders, continually deepens his knowledge and teaching approach.
Sean’s passion for cultural education shines through in his commitment to empowering others. He reminds us, “We have incredible native plants in our backyards or along the beach-self-sustaining resources we can learn to use.”
