The Knowledge Project exists to create a greater foundational knowledge between Kaurna people and the wider community.
Our goal is to promote better conversations and mutual respect through shared understanding. By fostering open dialogue in a non-judgemental environment, we aim to bridge cultural gaps and strengthen community connections.
After watching our videos, viewers are invited to submit further questions anonymously, ensuring that curiosity and learning continue to thrive. These submitted questions will inform our future content, helping us address the community's evolving interests and needs.
Together, we can advance these conversations and move forward as a more united community.
