Northern Territory Learning Adventures (NTLA) invites your students on a journey through 65,000 years of Aboriginal culture.
Aboriginal cultural tours, immersion opportunities and authentic engagement activities are offered across the NT. Visit Australia's best preserved rock art sites, Aboriginal communities and cultural centres, where students learn through guided interpretation, hands-on activities and interactive exchanges.
Discover traditional knowledge incorporating bush foods and medicine, bush skills and land management practices such as fire-stick farming. Students can try their hand at the Didgeridoo, clap-sticks, spear-throwing, basket-weaving and dot-painting.
Specialised NT travel operators deliver in-depth, cultural immersion programs in partnership with Aboriginal communities.
For authentic Aboriginal cultural experiences that provide your students with genuine interactive cultural exchanges and learning outcomes, consider booking with one of the providers listed in the NT Learning Adventures guide.
