Every Yarn Weaves a Connection — to Culture, to Country, and to Community
Younga Yarns is a First Nations owned company that delivers face to face training and has taken cultural learning online with a platform that offers meaningful, transformative First Nations education through the stories of our people the Yuwi people and the Ghungalu people. Our mission is to bring the oldest living cultures into classrooms, homes, workplaces and communities—honouring the story, Country, Elders and language in everything we do.
We provide Early Childhood programs, and coming soon we will also be bringing – primary school modules, school holiday experiences, adult learning courses, Educator professional development training such as Cultural Awareness training and Embedding First Nations Knowledge. We also have a range of programs that can also be delivered face-to-face.
All programs are guided by First Nations consultants and elders.
Early Education Programs
Our early childhood programs are carefully designed to introduce young children to Aboriginal culture through play-based, sensory and emotional learning. Children are invited to engage with traditional stories, language, art, song and dance, all of which support their early development while nurturing deep respect for culture and Country. These programs align with the Early Years Learning Framework.
Primary School Programs
Our primary school programs align with the Australian Curriculum and embed First Nations perspectives across key learning areas including English, Humanities, Science, and The Arts. Students explore Aboriginal cultures through storytelling, language, ecology, creative expression and digital interaction. Lessons are scaffolded to support inquiry, critical thinking, empathy and respectful cultural engagement.
Holiday Cultural Programs
Our holiday programs offer an exciting and meaningful way for children to experience Aboriginal culture during school breaks. These programs blend fun, hands-on activities with rich cultural knowledge, creating opportunities for deeper connection, creativity and joy and are complimented with our resource packs for hands on learning.
Our adult learning programs are created to support deep listening, respectful cultural understanding, and healing through knowledge. These programs are ideal for adults who are seeking to reconnect, rebuild or deepen their understanding of First Nations culture.
