Our Learners

“This workshop made me fall in love with mapping.”

Regional IMW - Townsville 2023 Learner

“I can't stress enough how amazing an opportunity like this is. To attend it, and for it to be First Nations based and run, is a breath of fresh air. Only Mob know how to teach Mob and to do that well and effectively. It has been demonstrated so well through this special event.”

National IMW - Narrm 2023 Learner

“I’ve been to three IMW’s in Australia. I really love the immersion of going and spending a couple of days doing the learning about mapping and seeing what everyone else is doing.”

IMW Enthusiast

“I really like the storytelling you can do in Google Earth. That’s something I might do with work. Is to put some stories together.”

IMW Australia - On Demand Learner

“To me, on a spiritual level, being able to go home to Orange… There’s a beautiful mountain there called Mount Canobolas. To be able to go there on Google Earth has been really good for me to connect with Country even if it was digitally.”
