2025 Applications for the Marri-gin project are now open

Sign up

What is Marri-gin?

Meaning "Progress Power and flow" or "Great Influence" in Woi-wurrung. The project was founded and first implemented on Wurundjeri country and so pays respect to the language and custodians of the region. 


The Marri-gin project equips Indigenous students with knowledge in policy and environmental strategies, while also providing networking and opportunities to those involved.

The Project will focus on:

  • Developing an understanding of the current environmental policy landscape both domestic and international from an Indigenous perspective.
  • Fostering a sense of cultural safety for Indigenous students and forming a cohort of collective peers.
  •  Support in navigating the University system as well as developing skills, providing extracurricular opportunities, and networks

Eligibility

*All participants must be of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent, identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and be accepted as such by the community in which they live or have lived; Aged between 18 - 25 years.
