The Green Turtle Foundation Inc.

The Green Turtle Foundation Inc. was established to generate interest
and support for the Green Turtle Dreaming project. Its membership is
drawn from teachers, scientists and community members committed to the
conservation of this endangered species and the need to recognise
indigenous relationships to these ancient reptiles.

The Green Turtle Dreaming project aims to:

*	document Australian and Indonesian communities' little known and
shared relationship with the Green Turtle in an innovative way. 
*	develop grassroots connections between regions of Australia and
Indonesia which have had a cultural relationship over thousands of years
but which are rarely included in formal cultural exchange projects. 
*	increase an awareness of the vulnerable status of turtles in the
region 
*	develop an arts project which makes use of infrastructure and
connections between non-arts institutions such as national parks,
schools, environmental non government organisations, zoos and marine
parks. 
*	create a significant work of art which will tour to major
exhibition venues in Australia and Indonesia. 
*	Encourage schools and communities to assist with the development
of educational materials to be shared across the two regions. 

This project is supported by

*	Australia-Indonesia Arts and Community program, an initiative of
Asialink and the Community Cultural Development Board of the Australia
Council. 
*	The Myer Foundation 
*	The Global Classroom Project, an initiative of the Department of
Education and Training 
*	Artists in Schools Project 2002, ARTS VICTORIA 
*	The Norman Wettenhall Foundation 
*	CMagi Designs <mailto:cmagiau at yahoo.com.au>  for developing the
initial web site free of charge. (Upkeep and additions by others funded
by the Global Classrooms Project.)
