Monash University’s ‘We Are Well: Art-moving-wellbeing’ project explores how art education, wellbeing, histories and cultures of Australian First Nations Peoples, can create dynamic learning experiences in primary schools, universities, and senior groups. Monash students and staff from the Faculty of Education and the Department of Occupational Therapy, local children, and older adults from U3A and Rotary met with Indigenous artists and knowledge holders for four workshops at the Monash Peninsula Studio and McClelland Gallery. Monash students experienced creative project-based learning, as they learned about the value of Indigenous perspectives in their work, and how creative and community partnerships can be forged. They will take these experiences into their respective fields. The participants developed a new appreciation for people of different ages, cultures and experiences during this project. Stereotypes were challenged as they learned about Indigenous cultures, local plants, eco-dyeing, sun printing, and each other, while connections were made within and across generations.

莫纳什大学（Monash University）“我们皆安康：艺术·运动·安康”项目，旨在探究澳大利亚第一民族（Australian First Nations Peoples）的艺术教育理念、健康福祉、历史与文化，如何为中小学、高等院校及老年群体打造富有活力的多元学习体验。

莫纳什大学教育学院（Faculty of Education）与职业治疗学系（Department of Occupational Therapy）的师生、当地儿童，以及来自第三年龄大学（U3A）与扶轮社（Rotary）的老年群体，与原住民艺术家及文化传承者在莫纳什半岛工作室（Monash Peninsula Studio）与麦克莱兰画廊（McClelland Gallery）共同开展了四场专题工作坊。

莫纳什大学的学生参与了以创意项目为核心的探究式学习，深入领会原住民视角在专业实践中的重要价值，同时学习如何构建创意创作与社区合作的长效机制，并将此番经历融入未来的职业发展中。

本次项目中，参与者们对不同年龄、文化背景与人生经历的群体形成了全新的认知。在探索原住民文化、本土植物资源、生态染色技艺、太阳印花技法以及彼此联结的过程中，固有刻板印象得以破除，代际内部与跨代际的情感纽带亦得以建立。
