Think Tank: orientation/training programme for young people joining historical societies

ZOOM Join from anywhere in the world

Murchison & District Historical Society wants to develop an orientation/training programme for young people - i.e. 14 - 18yo's - to become volunteers for their historical society. The RHSV thinks that this idea is worth putting effort into and seeing if we can develop a template that can be adopted by many historical societies. To facilitate this I’ve organised a Zoom meeting for 11am Tuesday 4 February 2025 for everyone interested to get together and share ideas and experiences and to work out what can be done. So please do join Kay and I on Zoom and bring your ideas and enthusiasm and we'll see what we can nut out together.

Pre-European Indigenous culture in the St Kilda area with Gary Presland

St Kilda Army & Navy Club 88 Acland Street, St Kilda, Victoria, Australia

The St Kilda area is part of the traditional lands of the Yalukit willam clan. As part of the Kulin nation, the Yalukit willam were connected to clans as far away as the Murray River. Dr Gary Presland will detail the nature of these connections and elaborate on how the Yalukit willam made a living, at the same time honouring and caring for their country.
