In Hopevale, the Indigenous Knowledge
In Hopevale, the Indigenous Knowledge and Technology Centre has become a window to the world for the small, far north Queensland community.
The Australian Government supports the Indigenous Technology and Knowledge Centre in Hope Vale for its work to preserve local language and improve local children's reading and writing skills -- both of which are an important part of Closing the Gap.
The centre is a community hub where people can visit to access library books, magazines and DVDs, as well as music, games and the internet.
The centre also runs reading and writing programmes for young children, school holiday programmes, as well as a homework club.
Centre coordinator Shirley Costello is committed to helping people learn, with a particular focus on culture preservation.
Shirley says that keeping the local Guugu Yimithirr history and language alive was a passion for community members both young and old.
