North Australian Remote BNH Training TRAINING MANUAL

RATIONALE The development of yet another set of training materials is justified to meet a number of needs in the remote regions of the Top End in order to build community resilience including: • economic and social opportunities in the communities 'on country' that meet existing cultural and other needs and extend into previously untapped (or under-tapped) economic/employment opportunities; • more. [...] One outcome of the approach proposed is that some areas of the content will therefore be different each time it is delivered, to cater to the specific needs of the situation and the people involved. [...] Traditional owners and local ‘Professors’ are identified and engaged to be involved in the auspicing of the training as well as in the delivery of both the content and activities. [...] The training team should meet on country two days before the course is scheduled to proceed and work through the proposed Training Units and the materials to be presented. [...] For the BNHCRC program, the development of improved understanding of BNH, the role the individual and community play in its management and the mapping of new knowledge on to existing cognitive constructions means that this transformative training will contribute directly to the enhancement of community resilience among participants.
