Evolve has a range of products to support your cultural awareness journey. With our credit-card sized ‘Acknowledgement of Country’ card, you always have the right words for this important cultural protocol at your fingertips. Our customisable ‘Cultural Protocols template’ covers the most important things for you to know. We liaise with your local Indigenous community to ensure your protocols are correct.
Our training programs and what we teach is based on the Songlines Engaging Pathways™ and Meeting Marketplace™, collaboration and engagement models developed by Evolve. At the heart of both is a design thinking approach that places the client and their needs at the centre of any solution. They are informed by 6 values (the 6 C’s) – clarity, choice, connection, contribution, courage and creativity.
Our cultural competency training solutions are interactive and experiential. We don’t do death by Powerpoint! Our programs are for everyone from general staff to senior leaders. We run 1/2 day programs to multiple days depending on an organisation’s needs. These are delivered face to face and online, with ongoing support through coaching and mentoring.
Evolve has the most creative and impactful cultural awareness programs in Australia unlike no other. By seeing the wisdom in all people and cultures, we bring people together, closing the gap between cultures. Our programs change lives. The impact is a kinder and more unified Australia, which recognises the wisdom of Aboriginal Dreamtime.
“We thoroughly enjoy working with the Evolve team. They have an extraordinary capacity to create a fun and relaxed learning environment where staff feel completely comfortable asking all the hard questions. Their creative use of humour and capacity to tailor the program to meet the speci c needs of the group is exceptional. Many of our staff tell us it is the best cultural competency training they have ever experienced and has transformed their approach to working with Aboriginal health organisations. I encourage others to partner with Evolve because of their strategic, thorough and holistic approach.”
“I wanted to increase my connections and involvement in working with Aboriginal communities. Through the Evolve program, I achieved this and more. I made great connections with other service providers who shared this interest. I learnt many new skills and ideas that increased my confidence in working with Aboriginal Communities. This includes a deeper understanding of our First Australians and their early history, Indigeneity and connection to land and Country, and the importance of ‘Sorry business’. I now understand ‘lateral violence’, how it arises and where to find information about how to deal with it. I highly recommend this training to others. Munya is a great teacher, with a unique combination of gentleness, strength and amazing intelligence. What a woman!”
“Evolve Communities enabled us to draw on their rich organisational cultural knowledge and expertise to develop our first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Handbook. With Evolve we created a resource to support our people to be more culturally aware in delivering health and care in Australia and provide guidance on showing respect to our Traditional Owners. Working together was very much a partnership and a unique learning experience that supported our commitment to reconciliation and also continuing to learn from Indigenous Australians.”
