    Projects

    Following are a number of ARDS projects currently in need of funding to assist in their ongoing development

    Radio Service

    Funds are sought for the radio service in the areas of program development and infrastructure support. The Radio Service is currently broadcasting educational programs on Health, Economics, Law and Governance issues in the Yolngu Matha language. Funds are currently being sought to develop new educational programs as well as increase our coverage across the north-east arnhem region with additional transmitters. Sponsors may possibly be acknowledged on the radio service.

    Video production

    Currently ARDS is developing a number of video projects to assist in it's education strategy. These include educational videos for Yolngu and dominant culture, aimed at increasing cross-cultural understanding. Video productions are also underway to record traditional knowledge.

    Dictionary Project

    If we are to address the critical issues of deteriorating health and failing education for Yolngu people in Arnhem Land, then we need to be serious about the requirement to engage in effective communication.  Therefore a range of health, economics, and legal English – Yolngu Matha dictionary's are a necessary communication tool that will enable Yolngu people to access basic information about contemporary Australian society.

    Cultural Intellectual Recording & Archiving

    This service will allow the recording and archiving of traditional cultural material across a whole range of subjects and areas. Of particular significance will be conservation of flora and fauna, oral history, economic material regarding the production and trade of traditional items, traditional health care and prevention, instructional song-cycles, bedtime stories, proverbs, information regarding legal structures within Yolngu society and also the academic language covering all the concept language.
