In My Blood It Runs – Curriculum Links & Conversations with the Authors

The webinar, produced and edited by filmmaker and director Maya Newell, speaks to the In My Blood It Runs campaign and features author Dujuan Hoosan sharing his experience writing the In My Blood It Runs children’s book. Carol Turner, co-author and Dujuan's grandmother, also shares her insights for teachers engaging with the book and her work with Children’s Ground.

Recognising the book’s educational value, AIATSIS and Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali team have collaborated with In My Blood It Runs to publish a curriculum-aligned teacher resource.

In the webinar, you will learn about the teacher resource as the Narragunnawali team unpacks how it can be used by those who educate or read with children and young people aged 8–16. Learn about the activities in the resource which align to the Australian Curriculum (Version 9) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures cross-curriculum priority, and the key themes of identity and First Nations self-determination, captured in the book through Dujuan’s voice advocating for systems change, and the inclusion of First Nations cultures in learning, prompting educators to better understand their role and responsibility in culturally responsive practice.
