17.01.2022 I love hearing the positive feedback from our Cultural Development Understandings Training Workshop!! We have a community workshop coming up on the 5th of Feb at the Commercial Club in Albury. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cultural-development-and-un

17.01.2022 Two and a half years ago this little one inspired the creation of Birrang Cultural Connections. ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’ - It’s about learning the rich, cultural history of this country we call home and keeping the culture alive through our younger generations and shaping our future leaders. I am so lucky that I have the privilege of going into preschools and early childhood centres sharing my culture with our next generation.... #EllaMae #BirrangCulturalConnections #NAIDOC2020 #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

16.01.2022 Expression of interest!! We would love to know if anyone would be interested in school holiday day programs in January for children 5-13 to learn about Aboriginal culture (throw boomerangs, make clapsticks, paint etc)?

16.01.2022 Thanks to Goodstart Early Learning Albury - Pemberton Street!! Looking forward to next weeks session!!

16.01.2022 As most of you saw, we have been lucky enough to have our very own designed shirts. Which have been designed by Taylor. Taylor has been busy designing another shirt, similar to the other one. But with a little bit more meaning behind it. The blue represents the flowing river, unpredictable at times, but heading in one direction - Forward. ... The green represents the growth of Birrang Cultural Connections and the relationships we continue to create. With this newly designed shirt, we are putting in orders to anyone who would like one. Shirts are $50 each. Please PM our page with your sizes and how many you would like. The cut off for orders and payment will be 5pm 07/02/2020. We are needing a minimum of 10 orders to proceed!! P.s. this design is a bit different to what will be ordered. Instead of our logo being on the chest, it will be right sleeve. Please share away to your friends and family!!

16.01.2022 New year, New shirt!!
