We are incredibly proud to see so many trainees supported through the provincial Skills Centres under the Ministry of Education and Training take part in the first-ever Skills Competition in Port Vila.

It was a wonderful opportunity for them to showcase their talents and demonstrate the skills and experience they’ve gained.

The power of culture that connects communities through diplomacy 🇻🇺🇦🇺

This is First Nations diplomacy in action!

These incredible women weavers from Vanuatu travelled to share culture and knowledge with Yolŋu weavers in East Arnhem Land.

They exchanged stories and culture while pandanus weaving.

These leaders visited Arnhem Land and the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair. Yolŋu women will travel to Vanuatu to take part in Vanuatu Made events, deepening these ties even further.

This program demonstrates the power of culture to connect communities through diplomacy.
