Garma Festival

Health Workforce Australia is proud to be providing sponsorship support of the Garma Festival, which takes place between August 5th and 8th in Arnhem Land.

The Garma Festival is a nationally significant, intimate, spectacular celebration of cultural traditions and practices:

• dance;
• song;
• music;
• art (including presentations, collaborations, sales); and
• the annual venue for a major Key Forum on Indigenous issues.

The 2011 Garma Festival Key Theme is Academic Excellence & Cultural Integrity.

As well as the Key Forum and integrated academic presentations on language and culture, Key Forum participants also have the opportunity to watch the daily bunggul and music performances, enjoy Garma art exhibitions and projects, and participate in evening and night activities.

Garma is a unique combination of education, entertainment and real cultural interaction, exchange and immersion.
