• Origins of race and racism
  • During this module participants are provided the opportunity to explore the 500 year story of race and racism. The participants are also exposed to the ongoing justifications of racism, and the driving factors that have allowed racism to continue.
• Redefining racism
  • In this module participants are encouraged to critically examine their own definition and understanding of racism. Participants will be introduced to a range of perspectives and insights into multiple meanings of racism and be challenged to build consensus within their group around a shared definition of racism that can be taken back to their workplaces. 
• Dimensions of racism
  • IndigenousX along with the participants will interrogate the understanding of racism by looking at 4 dimensions of racism and the intersection and interplay of these dimensions.
• Identifying and responding to racism
  • Emphasising that there is no one correct way to respond to racism, IndigenousX will guide the participants through some strategies to identify and respond to racism, at individual, interpersonal and institutional levels.
• Anti-racism principles
  • Anti-racism is more than a value set, it should be considered a skill set. IndigenousX will introduce the participants to this understanding of anti-racism and will guide the participants to discover and develop these skills.

• Kinship and culture
  • As Luke and Mick are both Gamilaraay men, they will expose the participants to some aspects of Gamilaraay culture including family structures and worldviews and how these supported the continuity of culture over countless generations. 
• Impacts of colonisation
  • Using concepts of knowledge, connection and responsibility, participants will build their own web. This web will then be used to explore the impacts of colonisation on Indigenous society.
• Indigenous advocacy and activism
  • The teaching of Australian history has generally been from a viewpoint of what was done to or has happened to Indigenous people. In this session IndigenousX will show that at all times Indigenous people have been involved in resistance, advocacy and activism. This session will highlight key moments of activism and advocacy that have been led by Indigenous people throughout Australia’s history.
• Indigenous rights
  • Australia is a signatory to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). In this session IndigenousX will guide participants through this document and examine how the principles held within it can be incorporated into their everyday business.

• Origins of cultural safety
  • This session introduces cultural safety to participants and provides a detailed overview of its origins, development and the key principles underpinning it.
• Adapting cultural safety across sectors
  • As cultural safety originated within the New Zealand health sector, it requires some critical thought and consideration before applying to other sectors in another country. This session  guides participants through the process of adapting Culturally Safe practices to their own unique professional contexts. 
• Cultural Humility
  • In order to achieve a culturally safe environment, staff need to be willing to engage with difficult concepts through a framework of cultural humility and self reflection. This session outlines what is meant by cultural humility and what attributes are required in order to meaningfully engage with the process of establishing cultural safety. 
• Cultural Competency
  • For individual staff to meaningfully contribute to organisational cultural safety, it is often said that cultural humility is the necessary mindset required, and cultural competency is the goal they should be aspiring towards.  
• Cultural safety and institutional racism
  • Cultural safety is not just the responsibility of individual staff members. It requires organisational support and commitment to ensure its success. This requires an understanding of institutional racism in all its forms and a commitment to empowering those who have traditionally been disempowered within these systems. It looks at issues of policy implementation, representation in governance, employment, service delivery and funding accountability.

• Everybody has a culture 
  • Culture is often seen as something that only non-white people have. In this session participants will be challenged to view their own relationship to culture and how this influences their lives and society as a whole.
• Cultural diversity
  • Throughout this session participants will examine and challenge current understandings of Cultural diversity and its benefits to society.

• Australian history
  • In this session IndigenousX will lead participants on an exploration of Multiculturalism within Australia. This session will focus on Australia’s changing attitudes towards multiculturalism both as a society and through legislation.
• Indigenous peoples and multiculturalism
  • When examining multiculturalism we need to examine Indigenous people’s place within it. In this session participants will be encouraged to explore the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Multiculturalism.

• Developing appropriate terminology guides
  • This session allows participants to enhance their understanding of the social, cultural and political contexts in which the vast range of terminology relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have developed. It provides extensive insights and recommendations in the necessary steps to follow in order to create and maintain a respectful terminology guide or process. 
• Writing for and about Indigenous peoples
  • Writing for Indigenous audiences is a lot more than just adding in key words like ‘deadly’, ‘mob’, and ‘yarn’ or putting dot points around the border of documents designed for mainstream audiences. This session raises expectations,introduces strategies, and gives examples of red flags to be mindful of when creating content with and for Indigenous people.
• Avoiding deficit discourse
  • Deficit discourse has long been the norm when it comes to the way non-Indigenous people think and talk about Indigenous people and issues. It can also have significant negative impacts on policy development and implementation. This session introduces the concept of deficit discourse, how to recognise it and how to avoid it. It also offers alternative ways of thinking and communicating based on strengths, respect and dignity.
