National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and to participate in celebrations of one of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. The 2024 theme is “Keep The Fire Burning! Blak, Loud And Proud."
This webinar will be an interactive opportunity to learn about culturally safe practice, communication and language therapy in an Aboriginal context and the benefits of cross-cultural immersion.
