Through the eyes of an Elder: Exploring Peramangk culture

Peramangk is the language of the Mount Lofty region. It lies east of the Kaurna language and west of Ngarrindjeri and the River Murray languages.

Come and join Uncle Ivan Copley, a Peramangk and Kaurna Elder as he shares his knowledge of Peramangk language, history and culture. Participate in a culturally significant walk close to the venue and then spend the afternoon planning how to authentically weave culture into your work with children.
