Connecting Communities is a project designed to embed online technologies into the business practices of Indigenous artists.

Indigenous artists will be trained in the skills of online facilitation, online conferencing, digital story telling and other online techniques, such as blogs and wikis that will allow them to communicate with remote communities of Indigenous artists and other people interested in learning about Indigenous art and culture.

The artists will create a Cultural Menu, which is a smorgasbord of digital stories and online training opportunities on offer for other communities and the general public to choose from. Some of the items on the Cultural Menu include: Bush Tucker with Auntie Lila and Traditional Weaving with Uncle Steve, Bush Seed Collecting and Propagation with Noel.
