Be Inspired-Be Equipped-Be Empowered

Dr Tyson Yunkaporta's 8ways is expressed as eight interconnected pedagogies that encompass Aboriginal ways of learning. 

DIYDG have created activities which draw on each of the learning styles to provide young people greater opportunity to view education and employment in a framework they will understand. 

DIYDG aims to connect young people with positive role models, develop a sense of identity, build resilience and develop their sense of identity.

Story Sharing: Approaching learning through narrative.
Learning Maps: Explicitly mapping/visualising processes.
Non-verbal: Applying intra-personal and kinaesthetic skills to thinking and learning.
Symbols and Images: Using images and metaphors to understand concepts and content.
Land Links: Place-based learning, linking content to local land and place.
Non-linear: Producing innovations and understanding by thinking laterally or combining systems.
Deconstruct/Reconstruct: Modelling and scaffolding, working from wholes to parts (watch then do).
Community Links: Centering local viewpoints, applying learning for community benefit.
