The Yiriman Project

The Yiriman Project recognises that contact with Culture and Country is crucial to identity and well-being. The project facilitates inter-generational knowledge exchange, taking Elders and youth out on Country, camping and spending time teaching/learning/sharing life skills based on traditional cultural values. The concept for the Yiriman project arose out of the concern of the Elders for their young people, who were facing increasingly serious issues such as self-harm, substance abuse and the loss of cultural identity. Established in 2000 and initially implemented in Jarlmadangah Burru Aboriginal Community, the program is currently based out of Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia.
