Men's Guitar Group
We have started a Thursday morning Aboriginal Men’s Friendship Group based on learning to play guitar. Well known Aboriginal artist Nancy Bates connected us to musician Jimmy Hall to come and show us chords and vocals. We were generously assisted by Cal Williams Jnr (The Guitar Academy) who donated 6 older guitars. We are meeting at Gallery Yampu (next to the Birkenhead Bridge) and usually finish with a bite to eat. Contact Jeremy Rioli: 0410 740 487

It has been an awesome start to 2021 at the Tiraapendi Wodli Hub with several programs getting started including an Aboriginal Men's Friendship Group (learning to play the guitar) on Thursday mornings; the genealogy group on Tuesdays, youth fitness sessions on Monday mornings and a group of women planning for a renewed health and fitness group starting soon!

Launched a week ago, the 50words map aims to showcase the diversity of Indigenous languages, starting with 50 words (or fewer, if more words aren't available). There are 15 languages, including Kaurna, and the hope is to include every Indigenous language.
The 50 words project is an Internationa Year of Indigenous Languages initiative of the School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne.
