Engaging students with an Indigenous digital library
Bawurra Foundation is a non-profit organisation that uses technology to preserve and share Indigenous culture and help close the Indigenous literacy gap.
Preserving Australian Indigenous knowledge
Bawurra Foundation
Bawurra Foundation is growing a digital library of stories, art, songs, languages and history shared by Indigenous Elders and community leaders. Young Indigenous students can access our library on e-readers and tablet devices that are donated to school libraries in remote at-risk communities.
Macquarie University students and young professionals founded Bawurra Foundation in 2015 with the vision of using technology to improve educational outcomes and celebrate the rich oral history of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The organisation has grown rapidly and is now working with numerous communities across New South Wales.
