Indigenous Culture
Workshops
Mereki also offers an Indigenous
cultural learning experience especially designed for
pre-school and primary school children, through
performance, hands on arts and crafts, story telling and
singing and dance.

|
Entertaining, fun and
educational, Mereki weaves the timelessness and
beauty of traditional Aboriginal Culture into a
contemporary, magical learning experience.
Children are encouraged to learn through
participation and discussion.
Sessions begin with a song
and cultural time where the children are shown
traditional artifacts and learn how and why they
are used in everyday traditional
life.

|
The meaning of the colours
of the Aboriginal flag is also
explained.
Original music, singing
and dancing, traditional stories told with
puppets and props and a wide variety of
culturally relevant art activities all help to
make Mereki's program memorable and
unique.
Children gain a deeper
understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal
Culture and people.

speak or workshop her program to community groups, Day
Care Centres or, at festivals and events nationwide and
internationally.
