This immersion program brings together 36 representatives from across the Club for a four-night stay in Central Australia.
In November 2024, Collingwood AFL and AFLW players, staff and members of the Board travelled to Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory as part of the Club’s ongoing commitment to cultural learning and community engagement.
Tennant Creek, situated 500km north of Alice Springs, lies within Collingwood’s Next Generation Academy (NGA) zone with this program focussing on fostering meaningful connection, deepening understanding and working Side by Side with the local community.
Collingwood acknowledges that this program takes place on the lands of the Warumungu people on Patta land and the Club has engaged with Traditional Owners and Elders in the local area to foster a meaningful relationship that drives positive and impactful community outcomes.
