OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT
MosaicLab commits to continue to demonstrate our support - to walk alongside First Peoples, such as:
prioritising projects with self-determination principles
acknowledging and respecting cultural protocols
advocating for amplifying Indigenous voices in all engagement activities
providing pro bono support to First Nations organisations
continue incorporating personal connections into our acknowledgement of country
continued learning and relationship building.
CASE STUDIES & RESOURCES
We’re committed to continuous learning and advancement of our practice. When we work in partnership with Traditional Owners, we seek to learn from and build capacity in each other. This includes projects where we co-facilitate with First Nations facilitators. We are working on some case studies and resources that will share some of this knowledge so that others can build their skills.
