This course has been developed by Worimi artist and educator Genevieve Grieves of GARUWA in collaboration with RMIT University.

This course provides opportunities for you to learn and apply knowledge and skills across a range of cultural and social frameworks, including settler-colonialism and race, that inform Australian society. You will begin to evolve a self-reflexivity that positions you in relation to these national issues as well as with regard to broader, global, First Peoples contexts. By developing your understanding of these factors in Australia, you will build a transferrable set of skills that encompasses intercultural, collaborative, self-determining approaches to working with local, national and global communities.

By considering the historical and contemporary contexts of the Australian case studies, you will expand your ideas of content production, curation, arts management and design in local, national and international contexts.

The course supports professional learning and career development learning in fields and roles such as: managers in the arts, design, creative, cultural, festival, public art, and arts education industries; as well as designers, curators, cultural producers, artists, education and community workers.

This course provides career development learning opportunities that may include engaging in real-world projects with community and industry partners, and/or simulated projects based in professional contexts.
