Presentations & Education
We encourage universities to get involved in existing research projects being conducted by QYAC and our partners as well as contacting us regarding new projects in the region. The Quandamooka people have lived and cared for North Stradbroke Island and the surrounding islands and waters for thousands of years and are valuable sources of information. QYAC can also provide cultural tours, presentations and demonstrations in line with your curriculum.
We believe developing an understanding of the history of Australia prior to European settlement is important which is why we will work with you to develop interactive and engaging activities to capture the attention and imagination of children of all ages.
