NOTRE DAME AUSTRALIA

BROOME CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

This is a truly exceptional opportunity to spend one week in Australia's Kimberley region.

Notre Dame Australia's Campus in Broome is a Campus of Reconciliation and is of special significance to the Aboriginal people of that region.  It devotes special attention to the study of Aboriginal and cross-cultural issues, and it provides an environment for the promotion of policies and values which enhance social justice, racial harmony, and participation in the region's social institutions and economic life.  It gives special opportunities for non-Aboriginal people to be directly united with Aboriginal people and to learn about their law and culture.
 

 

Notre Dame US students visit the campus in Broome and then have the opportunity to travel to several Aboriginal communities in which they come as friends and not as tourists.  One possibility is to visit the Bardi community on the Dampier Peninsula and to gain some sense of their spirituality and lifestyle.   What takes place is a true sharing of cultures and experiences.
