raising awareness of nomadic communities
Richard O’Neill shares reflections on education and nomadic cultures
Author and storyteller Richard O’Neill shares insights into the value of education. Richard’s perspective provides us with new ways of thinking about education and it’s relevance to traditionally nomadic communities. His insights can also help you reflect on your existing practice, processes and resources and think about how you could provide more culturally sustaining approaches. Teachers and practitioners should use these videos as a rich addition to culturally awareness raising training with staff teams.
