To be humanKINDER is to recognise cultural belonging as an

Universal Human Right.

We understand cultural belonging through three relationships :

with ourselves

knowing who we are

remembering where we’re from

honouring our stories

with each other

trusted communities

hospitality

shared experiences

with the living world

landscape

food & music

mountains & rivers

Our process weaves together four interconnected movements :

acknowledge our history

We cannot build belonging without understanding how it has been broken. Context matters.

build a stage for herstory

We create spaces where silenced voices can be heard and celebrated.

We recognise the importance of autonomy, choice and equity of expression.

ask questions about our shadows

We remain curious and critical about power, privilege, silence, bias;

our own as well as others’.

never forget to dance

We process, we celebrate, we reset and begin again.

Joy in celebration is not separate from justice.

Joy is evidence that justice is possible
