Indigenous Mapping Workshop Narrm
The Indigenous Mapping Workshop (IMW) Australia, an initiative by Winyama, an Aboriginal-led digital solutions company, strives for full Indigenous participation in the digital economy. IMW provides culturally appropriate geospatial technology training to Indigenous individuals, supporting Indigenous rights and interests. In this year’s workshop, held at the University of Melbourne’s Wilin Centre in Narrm, 83 First Nations people collaborated with industry and Government to promote the connection of lands and waters for the preservation of Country, tradition, and culture. Judges praised this well-designed initiative for its far-reaching impact in creating equity within the industry for a marginalised group.
