Cultural Respect and Acknowledgment

The podcast emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri, Woiwurrung, and Boonwurrung people, recognizing their ongoing sovereignty, and paying respect to Elders both past and present. This acknowledgment underscores the need for cultural respect in educational conversations while highlighting the impact of colonization and dispossession on Indigenous peoples. The discussion encourages educators to integrate this cultural respect into their teaching practices. This foundational respect is vital for fostering an inclusive educational environment.
