News from BCN
We have just launched a new video highlighting the achievements and outcomes of the Port Phillip Bay Fund 20/21 project Caring for our Bays: Culturally Connected Communities. This project was an education program that shared Wadawurrung traditional language, perspectives, and values with the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula community. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/bqdjZ_8P1GU 
This workshop with the Wadawurrung is the first in our 'Inclusivity Series' that features workshops and training from a range of organisations over the next few months. There are still spots remaining in this workshop focusing on Wadawurrung history and heritage. Reserve a ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/465424686767
