Basket Weaving Project W.A and N.T

Community First Development is an

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community

Development and research organisation –

working with our First Nation people.

Earlier this year, Elaine Stevens, Operations

Manager CDP at the Wirrpanda Foundation

Kalgoorlie contacted Community First

Development Emily Lapinski seeking assistance

with mentoring and training a CDP supervisor

working in Leonora.

Leonora Art Centre CDP supervisor, Angie,

wanted some support to diversify the art

activities run at the Centre as part of the CDP

program. The women participating in the arts

program wanted to learn different art and craft

skills besides painting, and to sell products at

the Centre to generate income. Angie also

wanted some mentoring support on setting up

the gallery space and running workshops with

participation Elaine Stevens, Operations

Manager, Wirrpanda Foundation.

Wirrpanda Foundation chose Community

First Development volunteer, artist and teacher,

Jane Byrne, to work with them on this project.

Jane has been working with Community First

since 2014 and has facilitated community

projects in Wiluna Remote Indigenous School

W.A and Tjuwanpa Out Station Resource Centre

Aboriginal Corporation in Hermannsburg N.T.

The project was initially designed to be run

in person with the CDP supervisors and CDP

participants, however COVID-19 resulted in a

change of approach. Due to the restrictions of

COVID-19 CDP participants were unable to

attend the Leonora Offi ce and CDP programming

stopped. Through Elaine Stevens an online

platform via Zoom was set up and the online

learning “Train the Trainer” has blossomed,

Elaine has called it “Creative Me”.

Since May 2020, Jane has been facilitating

online mentoring sessions with Angie and

Thelma every one to two weeks. At these

sessions, Jane and the CDP supervisors have

discussed accessing art/craft materials from

Zart and incorporating use of locally available

materials from country, and workshop

planning and facilitation techniques. Angie and

Thelma also learnt about and practiced

different craft techniques. To reinforce

mentoring session learnings, Jane also sent

them a number of step-by-step instructional

videos and images with notes to support their

learning.

As the participants technical skills are built

on, they will be venturing into new projects

such as make jewellery, incorporating their

skills, techniques and local knowledge of

combining indigenous Gum, Ininti, Quandong

nuts, seeds and feathers into their work.

As of the beginning of July Tjuwanpa,

Outstation Resource Centre Aboriginal

Corporation, Cultural and Educational

Organisation in Hermannsburg, N T have also

joined the online learning. Facilitated by Tania

Liddle, Senior Community Development Project

Offi cer at Community First and Colleen Cleaver,

Activity Support Worker Tjuwanpa Outstation

Resource Centre Aboriginal Corporation.

This Initiative and the mentoring workshops,

planning and facilitation skills have increased

the confi dence of all participants. The online

mentoring sessions have also inspired them to

collect natural materials for their planned

workshops with CDP participants, and have

motivated them to look for opportunities to

incorporate culture into the Australian

Government-administered skills development

program.

Volunteering can create a wonderful learning environment in diffi cult times such as COVID-19 and is a way of giving back to community.
