Our Vision

As an Indigenous led organisation we preserve Indigenous language through accessible interpreter services and creative educational programs. We are committed to providing Yumplatok to English communication, engage children through poetry and create Kala Lagaw Ya writing opportunities. Our programs and services are designed so that it can be delivered specifically in Torres Strait Islander language systems and Indigenous place based knowledge derived from Northern Peninsula Area and Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait region).

Our aim is to cultivate a community where poetry writing and social advocacy can grow through accessible learning experiences, particularly within remote or rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Queensland.

Our services includes:

• Kala Lagaw Ya Writing Project;

• Yumplatok to English Interpreter Service;

• Cultural Language Teaching Immersion;

• Remote flexible online delivery;

• Partnerships and engagement with local communities;

• Creative sessions with Wulgurukaba man and local Bamaga artist Kenny Newman.

Our Values

• Creativity by way of encouraging imagination, expression and originality.

• Accessibility to ensure learning opportunities are available to all.

• Excellence in delivering high quality educational content and advocacy services.

• Integrity to operate with transparency, honesty and accountability.

• Community building supportive and connected learning environments.
