nayri nina-tu mapali mapali Thank you so much!
🏆 Congratulations to the Winner of the Konica Minolta Australia Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Community Achievement Award, NITA Education!
Nita Education of Garden Island Creek is fostering greater understanding, respect, and reconciliation. Palawa founders Trish and Craig established Nita Education in 2017 to preserve and share Tasmanian Aboriginal culture and history with all. Through cultural awareness training, school visits, and bush tucker experiences, they connect students, communities, and visitors with the rich traditions of the Palawa people. Their programs, aligned with the Australian Curriculum, provide engaging, respectful, and meaningful opportunities to learn about Aboriginal heritage, land, and practices. They challenge misconceptions, strengthen community connections, and ensure cultural integrity is upheld. They also empower Aboriginal people, especially youth, to stay connected to their culture and land.
