About the organisation

Organisation Name : SharingStories Foundation

SharingStories Foundation works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to protect,
maintain and grow language, stories and cultural heritage. Engaged as a culturally safe partner, we deliver community driven digital arts programs and education initiatives that build capacity for cultural continuity, production and distribution of rich outcomes.
Our creative practice engages elder and child, traditional and modern, oral and digital storytelling, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous. We listen and work over the long-term to build relationships and a clear understanding of local protocols, sharing expertise to ensure Community Impact Goals are achieved. We work with a Both Ways approach across all aspects of our programming. Over the past 10 years SharingStories has continued to grow and we are very excited to be looking for another Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander executive to join our team.
In 2022 we will continue to run programs with our partner communities as well as celebrate the release
of several exciting outcomes that have been in production for over a decade. The Jajoo Warngarra – The
Culture Classroom, sharing authentic community produced content with educators across Australia will
be launched mid 2022 and the Mungo Stories -Walk Together App, will be available in March. Both are
innovative culturally rich new platforms, that return revenue to partner communities.
As we look to scale our work for reach and impact, Strategy and Partnerships Development is an incredibly important role. If this is your skill set and you’re keen to work with a team of like minded people, passionate about building capacity for cultural continuity, we’d love to hear from you.
