| Description | Weekly classes in Pit-jantjatjara were attended by white health workers, and camping facilities provided on church property for Aborigines from the bush who was visiting Alice Springs. The Aboriginal people of Australia were hunters and gatherers until the coming of white men just over two hundred years ago. Aborigines chose to participate in the health education programme because they saw it as an opportunity to interact and establish relationships with other Australians. The general approach of the Institute's Health Education programme was quite different from that of any other programmes for Aboriginal people at that time. The informal part occurred during the continuing interaction of the health educator and the group members, while the group was residing at the Institute and when the health educator visited the Aboriginal communities. A change in government policy resulted in large amounts of money being given to Aboriginal communities. Book Name: Grassroots Approaches to Combatting Poverty through Adult Education |
