The purpose of the Share a Yarn initiative is to provide Australian Elite Athletes with meaningful opportunities to connect and build relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and learn more about the differing cultures, lands, histories, and peoples within them. It aims to provide a platform for athletes to then share these learnings and advocate within the sporting community, and wider Australian community.
To Share a Yarn is to encourage collaborative, respectful, and honest communication between participants; building trust, fostering accountability, and providing a safe place to listen and learn.
