This year's NAIDOC week theme is 'Get up! Stand up! Show up!'

Direct from their website:
'NAIDOC Week is a chance to come together and celebrate the histories, cultures and achievements of First Nations people here in Australia.

Each year NAIDOC will choose a theme to build the celebrations around. In 2022 that theme is Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! It’s focused on supporting and securing institutional, structural, collaborative and cooperative reforms.

NAIDOC Week is a chance to celebrate and learn about First Nations Peoples — their histories, cultures and achievements. It can be a great opportunity to bring First Nations perspectives into the classroom in a way that’s fun, informative and celebratory.'

Learn to sign this year's theme!

Our next face to face workshop is just around the corner! ☺️☺️
