21211 Indigenous Community Organisation Practicum

This subject provides an opportunity for students to apply previous learning in the course in the context of a specific indigenous community organisation different from that in which they work or are involved. Through designing, organising and participating in an observational placement within an indigenous community organisation, students are exposed to the specific organisational, social, political, economic and cultural issues affecting the operation of that organisation. Students are required to identify a particular area of community organisation practice as the focus of their placement based on previous work completed in the course and prepare a report and presentation in order to share their observations and insights with other students in the subject.
