True Tracks®: a pathway to Indigenous engagement

​​

True Tracks® is a unique professional development workshop that will enhance your Indigenous engagement and increase your understanding of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), or Indigenous cultural heritage.

 

Do you need guidance with:

​

  • Engaging Indigenous suppliers?

  • Employing Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders?

  • Utilising Indigenous knowledge and cultural heritage material (e.g. visual art, plant knowledge, languages), but not sure who to ask or how to do it?

  • Reproducing an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artwork, but want to know the best approach? 

  • Understanding how the leading agencies and corporates are managing their Indigenous engagement?

  • Realising a calm, holistic and proactive approach to Indigenous issues will be more effective than an urgent, stressed, band aid approach?

TESTIMONIALS

"The True Tracks workshop is an absolute must for anyone wanting to understand how respect the intellectual and cultural property of Indigenous people. The content clearly sets out guidelines on how to appropriately use ICIP in media, publishing or film. The workshop is engaging, clearly presented and full of real life examples. I cannot recommend it more highly."

"I found this workshop extremely useful and I am now reading the True Tracks book. I am more aware of the gaps in my knowledge - I have a lot of reading to do! However, I have started and will continue to find ways to weave True Tracks principles into my work. This workshop has been a great start in helping me to see copyright law - and the concepts of authorship and ownership- in a different way."
