Applications are open for the 2025 Barring Djinang First Peoples’ leadership program.
This is a unique leadership development and coaching program for First Nations staff seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities.
The program will focus on ‘leadership in action’ by connecting personal and professional development with real-life projects. This involves implementing key Engoori practices that support self-awareness and transformation of individual and organisational relationships.
The Engoori story belongs to ‘Tjimpa’ of the Mithaka people of South West Queensland. Traditionally, Engoori was used to describe a set of diplomatic protocols to create and maintain robust challenging cultures that embrace diversity to enable forward movement with the big issues.
Participants will learn from high-profile First Nations leaders in a culturally safe environment, access individual and group coaching sessions and attend a 3-day leadership residential featuring learning and development, coaching, mentoring, and cultural activities.
The 2025 program will run from February to October 2025.
Hear this year’s participants talk about their experience of the program:
This program is open to First Nations employees from the Victorian public sector, Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, and Victorian Traditional Owner groups who are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey.
There are 30 places available in this program at the cost of $6000 per participant including GST.
Applications close Friday 4 October 2024.
