A resource that celebrates the strengths and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are some of the oldest and more enduring in the world.
Talking Up Our Strengths is an exciting and vibrant tool specifically designed as a visual aid to share Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories.
Made up of 22 full-colour images, these cards highlight strengths and resilience through family snap-style photos that show people being ‘strong in culture’. They are designed to foster recognition of what Aboriginal people have done – and continue to do.
Talking Up Our Strengths is designed to initiate conversations and storytelling in schools, communities, groups, social work settings, board rooms, family gatherings and backyards.
Whether spread out across classroom walls or on the tables of policymakers and politicians, these cards can be used as tools for reconciliation, social justice and celebrating cultural diversity.
This resource is designed to nurture pride, identity and resilience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and for others to recognise and reflect on their strengths.
(Special note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this publication contains images of people who have since passed away.)
