Bigaagarri is an Aboriginal word for danger or threat– it means to stay back and keep safe. It is a gifted word and cultural concept from our Muruwori and Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal researcher Phillip Orcher. Bigaagarri represents all the dangers we have in our lives which may impact on our individual and community well-being.
We invite crowds to share their personal, organisational and community innovations for social and emotional wellbeing. Your innovations will be shared on the ALIVE National Community Crowdsourcing Space and read by other people who will vote for the innovations that they like the most. If your innovation is within the top five voted for by the crowds, we will be in touch to invite you to partner with us to co-design how this might appear and be used within the bigaagARri platform.
What do you need to do?
Share the innovative ideas you have or are using for keeping your social and emotional wellbeing safe. Please use images, short 3-5 minute videos, 1-2 minute audio files or drawings, a painting or a poster or even a poem to describe keeping your social and emotional wellbeing safe.
