Manapan Academy

The Manapan Academy is our partner endeavour which is located next to the original Manapan workshop on Milingimbi Island. The Manapan Academy provides training for local community members in carpentry and joinery skills, with the vision that they will combine these skills with their creative talents to enable them to graduate to the main workshop. This pathway to full-time employment doubles as a celebration of their traditional talents and contemporary skills. This training facility is aimed at providing Yolngu people with the experience and knowledge to start a career in furniture making.
