YUMI EducationWhat is the YUMI WAY?
•Whenever you hear someone from Tagai school communities make reference to the phrase the YUMI WAY, they are referring to a process for ensuring inclusiveness and ownership of a system that has been quality assured by the Indigenous people of the Torres Strait since time immemorial. •Depending on the context, the phrase YUMI WAY, could be referring to a small group of people, a selected group of people, a large group of people or a nation of people.
•TheYUMI WAY incorporates a demonstration of respect for the peoples, languages, cultures and protocols in order to do business correctly in the Torres Strait region or when working with Torres Strait Islanders in other contexts.
•The YUMI WAY is not only about using common sense, it is about implementing what works and best practice. •Incorporating and applying the YUMI WAY into policies and procedures will ensure these will be more effective when implemented in the Torres Strait context. •Whenever we use the YUMI WAY for doing business we can feel confident and assured that the YUMI WAY is Our Way, the Right Way and the Only Way.
