Abstract

This article shares findings from evaluating a mentoring programme for Aboriginal youth on Yorta Yorta (an Aboriginal Tribal nation, north-eastern Victoria and Southern New South Wales, Australia) Country. This work is positioned in First Nations worldviews that are relational and require deep listening to youth, mentors, Elders, Country, and Ancestors. Applying a qualitative participatory action research design, methods involved attending camps on Country and research Yarning Circles. The findings demonstrate that Aboriginal mentoring programmes need to be led in their delivery and evaluation by First Nations peoples. This ensures that the programmes are culturally embedded in First Nations worldviews and that important interpretations of meanings are not overlooked. On Country experiences are a place for healing and learning. Country is a stakeholder in Aboriginal mentoring programmes. A trusting mentoring relationship creates a space where youth become part of an Aboriginal community, and where they feel strong in their identity.
原住民青年辅导:通向领导力之路
本文分享了对 Yorta Yorta(原住民部落民族,位于澳大利亚维多利亚州东北部和新南威尔士州南部)原住民青年辅导计划的评估结果。这项工作以原住民的世界观为基础,这种世界观是关系性的,需要深入倾听青年、导师、长老、国家和祖先的心声。采用定性参与式行动研究设计,方法包括参加乡村营地和研究学习圈。研究结果表明,原住民辅导计划的实施和评估需要由原住民主导。这将确保计划在文化上融入原住民的世界观,并确保对意义的重要解释不会被忽视。在乡村的经历是治疗和学习的场所。乡村是原住民辅导计划的利益攸关方。相互信任的辅导关系为青少年创造了一个空间,使他们成为原住民社区的一分子,并使他们对自己的身份有强烈的认同感。
