Visual Language: the Heart of Cross – Cultural Understanding’ is aimed to give students a unique experience. This program aims to offer international students and Australian participants a global perspective of cross - cultural understanding. Furthermore, this event aims to provide opportunities for individuals from different cultural backgrounds to share their traditions with the Coorong Ngarrindjeri community thereby strengthening community commitment, enhancing community participation and developing mutual respect. Visual language presentation is intertwined with culture and tradition. A better understanding of information continuity and by working side by side with Indigenous Knowledge and science means that we can move forward to a better future and meet the needs of our future generations. This workshop is significantly beneficial to students by establishing cross- cultural study exchange, and uniting students worldwide through hands on
training.
