The 2022-2023 Strengthening Our Culture Community Grant Program is now open for applications, with a total value of $250,000 in grants on offer.
The program has been developed to encourage South Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations to strengthen culture in Aboriginal communities by designing and implementing programs that focus on the Cultural Determinants of Health.
The Cultural Determinants of Health include connection to Country, cultural expression and continuity, family, kinship and community, beliefs and knowledge, language and self-determination and leadership.
The grants program will be implemented using a community of practice approach, supporting Aboriginal communities and organisations in developing sustainable skills, sharing knowledge and learning from one another to deliver programs that support wellbeing across the community.
Wellbeing SA's Aboriginal Health Promotion team will be delivering Community of Practice workshops to support grant recipients with the development and delivery of their projects.
