This short workshop will provide participants with a common grounding in approaches to engaging with First Nations communities and Peoples.
The course will be facilitated by Jade Brook, who is Kaurna and Nharangga with ties to Ngarrindjeri and Barkindji Country; with a TACSI co-facilitator experienced with working with First Nations Groups.
The workshop is informed by Jade's experience of engaging Aboriginal community in the design of healthcare spaces; and TACSI’s experience of co-design and innovation with First Nations groups which includes the development of policy, service design, governance design and development of community strategies.
Our facilitators will work with you to tailor the course to your needs including selecting case studies relevant to your context.

Reviews of previous version of this workshop hosted by Aunty Vickey Charles and Chris Vanstone
“If you’re considering this course, I can’t recommend it enough. The facilitation style creates a relaxed, engaging space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and participating. One of my biggest takeaways was learning the importance of asking communities whether they want to engage in a co-design process or prefer to be consulted—an approach that has transformed how I plan my work. This course truly shifts your mindset, grounding you in thoughtful, community-led design.”
“Great facilitation and frameworks alongside visuals very informative and inspiring a lot of reflection.”
“If you are already looking at student agency to lead your planning, consider this course for down-to-earth practical ways to consider wider community-based social innovation and increasing your impact through co-design.”
“[I liked most:] The purposeful yarning accompanied by innovative ideas, visuals and 'real world' resource examples. Opportunity to practice and spend time in a deeper listening space. Doing it with TSF colleagues from around the country! I had many [ah-ha moments]! the importance of visuals, storytelling and helpful pre-planning curious questions to better understand perspective for clarity re assumptions from the start (building with authenticity the right conditions for innovation).”
“[my ah-ha moment was] realising I could even apply the Stepping Stones to strategic support conversations that I have every day. [as a result of this course, I will] Try and apply a First Nations perspective to more aspects of my job and life generally.”
“This session was extremely insightful and thought provoking. It was facilitated in a relaxed and conversational way, and I left having had many light bulb moments in relation to my own growth and what we might consider implementing in my immediate team and more broadly in my workplace.”
