Billibellary's Walk
An Aboriginal Walk around the Parkville Campus has been developed and is being piloted in early 2013. The walk, entitled "Billibellary's Walk", is a cultural interpretation of the landscape that provides an experience of connection to country which Wurrundjeri people continue to have, both physically and spiritually.
Graduate Programs in Indigenous Research
At the University of Melbourne, we have hosted a Summer School for Indigenous graduate students since 2002. For the first time, in July 2013, the University will offer a Winter School, open to students who have successfully completed the Summer School program.
Over the past 10 years, research higher degree students have come from all over Australia to take part in the highly-regarded Summer School program, offered as 5-day intensive course, convened by Prof Ian Anderson and Professor Marcia Langton.
Big Dreaming, No Shame
In 2011, Murrup Barak developed a print campaign to reach out to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to build motivation for study at the University of Melbourne. The campaign - known as the "Big Dreaming, No Shame" campaign used student profiles and quotes to describe the experience of university life and study. The campaign was nominated for a Deadly Award in 2012.
