The Tjungu Project create experiences that enable Australia’s Indigenous peoples keep culture strong from one generation to the next and by doing this, they help connect you with where you've been and where you will go next through the wisdom of the world's oldest continuous culture. The Tjungu Project is a certified social enterprise, built on the shared value model. We exist to partner with First Nations peoples, to keep culture strong from one generation to the next. We do this by providing a sustainable supply of well prepared guests for participation in cultural programs. Through our partnerships with Traditional Owners, our experiences include a once in a lifetime, off-the-grid cultural and leadership experience in a remote Australian location for business leaders, executives and school students. On this flagship journey, leaders can walk side-by-side with Traditional Owners to better understand and appreciate Aboriginal culture. Our duty of care is to carefully select and prepare people to participate in a Tjungu experience.
