Education Program

Our education program provides a range of materials, resources and experiences for schools and organisations to learn about Kinchela Boys Home, the Stolen Generations, and the continuing legacies of these experiences.

By utilising our education program you are helping fund our work supporting Survivors and their descendants and families; advocating for change and social justice; and educating Australians about the horrors of the Stolen Generations, so we can ensure these mistakes are never made again—thank you.

The voices of Aboriginal Peoples and Survivors of the Stolen Generations are integral to a comprehensive and authentic understanding of Australia’s history, and for respecting the principles of self-determination and representation.

Educational resources

Our Aboriginal-led syllabus packages and lesson plans across History, English and Aboriginal Studies curricula assist teachers in delivering nuanced and culturally-informed content that fosters empathy, truth telling, healing and active reconciliation.

Truth telling sessions

These sessions allow participants to hear directly from Survivors of Kinchela Boys Home, either in person or via pre-recorded interviews. They can have a significant impact on participants and lead to a greater understanding of what Reconciliation means for Australia.

Mobile Education Centre

The MEC, created from a retired commuter bus, enables the KBH Survivors to take their story on the road.

This whole-of-community experiential learning centre provides a unique and safe space for students and community members to talk with the Uncles about their experiences in KBH, and the ongoing impacts of the Stolen Generations more broadly.

The MEC includes exhibition displays of archival materials, images, timelines and an online portal, as well as an onboard cinema that shows an animated film that was collaboratively produced with the Uncles.
