MUNDO, where students learn about the world by experiencing it

A student-led initiative called MUNDO has built a community for students to learn more about culture, identity and social issues from hands-on experiences, rather than lectures in a classroom.  Founded in 1997, MUNDO stands for Multicultural Understanding through Nontraditional Discovery Opportunities.

#SouthAustralia - #PointPearce #FirstNations #CultureGarden

"#LandcareAustralia is proud to partner with #PointPearceAboriginalCorporation in establishing a First Nations community-led conservation and education project. Located in South #Australia’s Point Pearce in the #WardangIsland #IndigenousProtectedArea (IPA), the project is led by the #TraditionalOwners, the #Narungga people, and aims to support #Indigenous youth to learn about their Cultural heritage and knowledge that will lead to career and leadership pathways in #EnvironmentalConservation. 


At the heart of this initiative is the Point Pearce First Nations Culture Garden, a space where #Elders, #FirstNationsRangers, and #IndigenousYouth come together to bridge and transfer #CulturalKnowledge. Designed as a hands-on learning environment, it will inspire young people to explore environmental conservation, deepen their appreciation for the natural world and discover career pathways that utilise Cultural knowledge. 


The Culture Garden will feature a #medicinal and #ceremonial plant area, #NativeBushFoods, water features to attract #wildlife, #SensoryGarden, and dedicated spaces for learning and Cultural practice. With a #seedling #propagation zone, a #NativeSeed cleaning station, a fruit and nut #orchard, and interpretive walking trail. More than just a garden, it serves as a ‘cultural learning hub’—fostering pride and offering a comprehensive setting for community events, educational programs, and vocational training opportunities. With funding from #OneTreePlanted, the tree planting will also help #restore #NativeVegetation and improve habitat for threatened species including the Southern Hairy-nosed #Wombat. 


Aligned with the South Australian Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy, the project aims to inspire engagement, Cultural pride, and environmental responsibility among First Nations students. It focuses on educational outcomes and how Cultural activities can play in enhancing social and academic competence among First Nations students."

One of the projects our non-profit gets to fund is having a knitter teach younger people how to knit. Watching her hands at work is amazing, like a dance. And the mental math involved to do each pattern! #knitting #CulturalKnowledge

The #AI technology is still in the testing phase for #Crunchyroll, but fans have already voiced a few concerns. One of the main hesitations regarding this usage of AI is how it will affect the accuracy of subtitles since AI lacks the #CulturalKnowledge and understanding that a #HumanTranslator might. #Anime #Subtitles

Crunchyroll's Testing of #AI Subtitling Could Set a Dangerous Precedent
