Celebrating Wanthiwa: A Milestone in Cultural Preservation

We were delighted to learn that the Wanthiwa app has been recognised with a Merit Award in the Tech for Good category at the TechDiversity Awards 2024. This innovative project, a collaboration between Juluwarlu Group Aboriginal Corporation, the Yindjibarndi community, and Brains Digital Agency, has been lauded for its role in preserving and sharing Yindjibarndi culture and language. Grade is proud of our contribution to the app's technical development, showcasing the powerful Yindjibarndi creation story.

Honouring Cultural Heritage Through Technology

The TechDiversity award highlights the Wanthiwa app's success in making Yindjibarndi language and culture more accessible through interactive technology. The app features beautifully illustrated animations, detailed voiceovers, and engaging interactive elements, all designed to enhance the user experience and promote cultural education. This project exemplifies how technology can be harnessed to support and sustain cultural heritage.
