Yarning kits

Yarning is an Aboriginal cultural practice that encourages respectful and collaborative learning, teaching, and listening. Yarning can be undertaken to learn about community, people, culture or conduct user research.

The Library has Yarning Kits available at each of our sites for staff and students to borrow and use. The kits include recycled plastic yarning mats and stones to guide communication, cultural guidance documentation to ensure appropriate use of yarning mats.

Before using a yarning kit you please read the cultural guidance video to ensure you are adhering to cultural protocols.
