Our flagship program for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities is ‘Australian Bush Comfort and Confidence (ABCC).’ ABCC was created specifically with people new to Australia in mind. We have met too many people, particularly from CALD communities, who want to enjoy camping or use local greenspaces for bushwalking and recreation, but aren’t doing so due to barriers. Some of those barriers include lack of knowledge and skills and fears about safety.
ABCC is a fun, interactive and hands-on workshop where we give people the skills, knowledge and confidence to organise and carry out a day trip or a camping trip into the Australian bush. Topics covered include bush safety, planning for a day trip or camping trip, how to set up a tent and how to light a campfire.
“ABCC serves as an excellent educational workshop for migrants. Although I have lived in Australia for two decades, this was my first systematic camping and bush educational workshop. I learned many new things.” – Stephanie Li, ABCC workshop participant, 1 June 2024.
We can run Nature-based orienteering, Nature Journaling, Forest Therapy and other events for CALD communities. Contact us to discuss how we can tailor these events to suit your groups’ needs.
We can deliver any of our programs or events in Spanish. We can also deliver the ABCC program in Mandarin.
