Through the generosity of the Yolngu law makers and ceremony holders, Mawul Rom is offered as a legitimate point of entry into ceremonial life and law of the system of Mayadin Law. This ceremony has been used traditionally for centuries as a conflict resolution and healing process to restore relationships between individuals, groups and clan nations.

The purpose of this course, which includes a combination of ceremonial and western academic activity, is for self-directed students to apply their knowledge and skills to a new and different context, critically review their knowledge within this context and extend their understanding into areas of increasing depth and complexity with a view to providing leadership as negotiators/mediators in this third cultural space in professional and/or civic life.
