MEET YOUR DIRECTOR
Ronnie Jordan is a descendent of the Kalkadoon People of Mt Isa region in QLD.
She is immensely passionate about her Aboriginal Heritage and has taught her culture to a wide range of people from children to the elderly, Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
Ronnie shares her knowledge of traditional coil weaving (taught by Aunty Jenny Dries), traditional games, animal and doll making (inspired by Tjanpi Desert Weavers) and enjoys sharing her knowledge on bush tucker plants.
Ronnie delivers workshops to schools, community and government and non-government organisations.
Ronnie is proud of her Aboriginality and is passionate in sharing Aboriginal culture with other people. Her goal is to share as much knowledge as she can so it can continue on through her children and other Aboriginal youth to reclaim her cultural heritage and ensure its survival.
WHAT IS THIS COURSE ABOUT?
The Certificate II in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts (CUA20415) is a course for ATSI students with a keen interest in visual arts and indigenous culture.
