“Keeping Culture Strong”

Jobs that keep cultural knowledge alive

Culture is the spine of everything BTS does. This pillar holds the programs, partnerships and workshops that keep Bundjalung culture strong, and the role that connects all of that to schools, training providers and the wider community.

The Cultural Educator is the linchpin: linking our story to local schools and RTOs, supporting Cultural Immersion Days, and helping coordinate the partnerships and Bundjalung art programs that bring community together.
