The Yulang Effect is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated.
We aim to build connection, truth and deeper understanding in education by creating impactful First Nations teaching resources.
Hello,
I'm Jordyn
I am a Wiradjuri, Ngemba and Paakantji woman and founder of The Yulang Effect.
I am also a primary teacher, and for the past decade, I have been leading Aboriginal Education within schools.
In 2019, I created an Instagram account to support Australian teachers in confidently embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and perspectives across the curriculum. My account, Learning to Ngangaanha, grew to over 11,000 followers, most of whom were passionate teachers eager to make a difference.
In 2024, I founded The Yulang Effect to work more closely with Australian teachers. I develop impactful resources and host inspiring events designed to empower educators to create a yulang (ripple) effect, both in the classroom and beyond!
Yulang (pronounced yoo-lung) is the Wiradjuri word for ripple.
The Yulang Effect logo tells the story of a small stone causing a ripple in a river, representing how one teacher (the stone) can inspire positive change within the education system (the river). The ripples symbolise the lasting impact that teachers create, reaching far beyond individual students and spreading through the entire system.
In this river, you can see other ripples started by other people who are also creating positive impact in the education system, and beyond this logo, there are people making ripples in other rivers, like in health and law.
Together we all contribute to creating meaningful, intergenerational change.
Building connection, truth and deeper understanding in education.
The Yulang Effect is guided by the following business values:
Country
Everything starts and ends with Country. The Yulang Effect is committed to sustainable and regenerative practices, and contributing to the protection of Country.
Community
Community is at the heart of what it means to be First Nations. The Yulang Effect places community aspirations at the heart of our work. We work collaboratively with mob and follow guidance from Elders.
Reciprocity
Reciprocity is about maintaining balance and giving back. The Yulang Effect works to ensure every interaction, collaboration and exchange honours the contributions of both people and Country in meaningful ways.
Our vision is clear.
Teachers → Students → Future Generations
Teachers are strong allies and changemakers in education.
All students learn the truth and have a deeper understanding of First Nations histories, cultures and perspectives.
First Nations students have stronger and safer experiences in education, learning in ways that centre connection.
The elimination of racism and the strengthening of relationships between First Nations communities and the wider community.
