Cultural Education, Then & Now - Hayden Walsh
May & June
Hayden Walsh will ask the Inner West Community to share their learning experiences of Aboriginal Culture and History – gauging an intergenerational overview of peoples learning experiences. He will record responses via film (for those comfortable) to create a digital record.
Hayden Walsh is a proud Aboriginal man from Sydney with over ten years’ experience across the education and not-for-profit sectors, along with many years in the arts and museum space. Throughout his career, Hayden has worked closely with First Nations Elders and knowledge holders across NSW, collaborating and producing cultural events, festivals and programs as well as developing multi-year strategic visions for organisations aiming to better support and empower First Nations communities. Hayden is also the Founder and Director of ‘Think Successful’, a social enterprise that delivers life changing personal development programs to young people.
