The pilot was supported by a Cuban academic who came to Australia for this purpose, and included a participatory action research evaluation led by the University of New England Project Manager. In this symposium, the Aboriginal leaders of the project will join with the two education academics, one from Australia and one from Cuba, to describe the pilot project and reflect on its outcomes. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Pedagogía 2013: Encuentro por la Unidad de los Educadores [Pedagogy 2013: Meeting for the Unity of the Educators], Havana, Cuba, 4th - 8th February, 2013 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of Pedagogía 2013 (Simposio 18: Alfabetización y educación de jóvenes y adultos - ALF), p. 238-259 | Publisher: | Pedagogía 2013 [Pedagogy 2013] | Place of Publication: | Havana, Cuba | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130101 Continuing and Community Education 130302 Comparative and Cross-Cultural Education 130301 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education |
