Online Indigenous Cultural Awareness, Diversity & Inclusion Training

Cultural Capability,

anytime, anywhere.

Woven Wisdom: The 8 Threads of Cultural Capability YarnnUp’s flagship self-paced e-learning. Grounded in First Nations knowledge systems and built for real workplaces. Not cultural awareness for compliance; cultural capability for transformation.

Overview

Learning through story, leadership through culture

Founded on the principles of Ancestral Intelligence™, we blend First Nations knowledge systems with contemporary strategy, behavioural science, and storytelling to deliver meaningful, measurable change that goes beyond cultural awareness.

Delivered in short, reflective modules, Woven Wisdom guides learners from understanding to action. Learners will explore history, identity, bias, communication, and leadership not as abstract topics, but as relational skills that shape how teams operate and thrive & build on their cultural capability.

More than a course, Woven Wisdom is a scaffold - a culturally safe place to start building the language, self-awareness, and mindset for meaningful engagement.

FAQs
What makes this different from a standard cultural awareness module?

Our cultural awareness e-learning goes above compliance. The modules are narrated by First Nations facilitators and blend storytelling with behavioural science, interactive knowledge checks, reflective journaling, and real workplace scenarios – so learners don’t just absorb information, they build the confidence and cultural capability to act on it.

Both are standalone, self-paced e-learning modules of around 45 minutes, so you can take either or both.
 
Module 1 builds cultural awareness – history, diversity, bias, and respectful engagement.
Module 2 builds cultural capability – emotional and cultural intelligence, leadership, and sustainability.
Both together give your team the wholistic experience: all 8 Threads, from awareness through to applied capability.
 
Not sure which suits your goals? Talk to our team and we’ll help you find the right fit.

The modules suit all staff levels, from new starters through to senior leaders. They’re especially effective as part of onboarding, DEI strategy, and cultural leadership development, and provide a consistent online training experience across every location, role, and team.

By completing the modules, participants build foundational cultural awareness, recognise how bias and structural inequality shape workplaces, learn respectful engagement practices, reflect on their own positionality, and develop the language and confidence to take culturally informed action.
You have two options: hosted by YarnnUp with web-based access we manage, or deployed on your own LMS via a SCORM package. Either way, learners get the same self-paced modules.
Yes. We support everything from a single team to enterprise-wide deployment of the e-learning, with volume licensing and a consistent online training experience across your whole organisation.

Woven Wisdom is primarily self-paced online training – learners work through the modules in their own time. It’s designed to complement, not replace, YarnnUp’s live virtual training and in-person workshops. Many organisations use the e-learning modules as a foundational first step, then layer facilitated virtual training on top for deeper, discussion-based learning. Check out our training page to see how we can help your organisation deliver live, virtual training. 

Yes. Branding options let you present the e-learning with your own look and feel for a seamless learner experience.
Absolutely. Rolling out cultural awareness and cultural capability modules at scale is a clear, trackable way to evidence the training commitments in your RAP, with completion data that demonstrates genuine progress.
Pricing for our cultural capability e-learning is tailored to your organisation. The investment depends on the number of learners and your specific requirements, including which modules you need, whether you’d like the online training hosted by YarnnUp or deployed on your own LMS, and any customisation, whitelabelling, or virtual training add-ons. Because pricing is dynamic and volume-based, the best next step is to book an enquiry.
Getting started is simple. Submit an enquiry form and a member of our team will reach out to you. We’ll discuss your goals, preferred delivery model (hosted by YarnnUp or your own LMS), which cultural awareness and cultural capability modules suit your team, and any customisation or virtual training you’d like alongside the e-learning. From there we’ll coordinate delivery setup and any onboarding materials your organisation needs.

Yes. We can work with your organisation to create custom cultural awareness and cultural capability modules – tailored to your people, sector, and learning goals, and deployed as e-learning or blended with virtual training. Reach out to our team to start the conversation.
