This collaboration between Koorie Communities, Koorie Heritage Trust, and SharingStories Foundation aims to share cultural stories with the wider community in ways that build knowledge and understanding of Koorie Culture. Connecting with the wider community through stories can bring about understanding, supports reconciliation and celebrates Aboriginal culture in Victoria. Through further consultation with Koorie communities, we have aspirations to continue our collaboration and share more content over time.

Koorie Culture Map is an interactive map experience produced by SharingStories in partnership with Koorie Communities and youth from local primary schools. The map is a collection of creation story animations and videos of culturally significant sites originally from the SharingStories multi-touch book collection.
The map welcomes you to explore cultural customs, watch animations of creation stories, hear language and visit special sites of Koorie communities to gain an understanding of the diverse Koorie cultures of Victoria. The unique interactive map experience houses collective work from a handful of Koorie communities and shares ancient knowledge and stories with the wider community.
Community leaders proudly and continuously work with the following generations in the preservation and revival of language, stories and cultural customs. This cultural and artistic expression is a collective attempt to share the responsibility in the caretaking of Koorie culture, language and country.
Through further consultation with Koorie nations, additional communities and content will be added to the map experience in the future.
