Rites of Passage to Lift Education Outcomes

  • - Jewish people managed to go from full oppression to economic and educational excellence within 3 generations, the Jewish rites of passage have been instrumental in this.
  • - The education system has consistently failed indigenous peoples around the world and can not, nor should not, be entrusted with the revitalisation of culture and language.
  • - By intertwining traditional knowledge, with community, spirituality and education through the use of rites of passage, we can lift educational outcomes for native people.

Session Description

A PowerPoint presentation exploring my theory around the use of rites of passage and how these models have worked in the past to retain cultural practices, and how they can be used now to revitalise language and culture
