Julieann, Ty, and Annalise recently visited 🎓 to deliver a Community and Public Health Nutrition Workshop for first-year Nutrition and Dietetics students🍎

We supported students with a practice run using the CREATE tool to help prepare them for their upcoming assignments. The room was full of energy, curiosity, and thoughtful questions, it was a beautiful afternoon of learning and sharing 🌿📚

It’s always deadly to see students so eager to learn how to engage respectfully and effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in their future work.

We’ve previously run Yarning Workshops with this class, and it’s great to see the ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to culturally safe practice 🤝🏾❤️

Thanks for having us again, 🙏🏾
