Indigenous Literacy Day is
Wednesday 1st September!
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation, along with Jessica Mauboy, Gregg Dreise, Shelley Ware and Archie Roach, is excited to celebrate and share the unique stories and languages of First Nations peoples and communities in a virtual program launched for Indigenous Literacy Day (ILD) on Wednesday, 1 September.
This year's theme is Celebrating Stories and Language. You will be able to pick and choose from a suite of diverse and inspiring two minute video stories from First Nations. You can see what will be available from 9am here.
We have supported the Indigenous Literacy Foundation since its inception. Its purpose is, quite simply, to make a difference to the lives of Indigenous families by not only gifting thousands of new, culturally appropriate books - with a focus on early literacy and first language - but also by running programs to inspire the communities to tell and publish their own stories, in the languages they choose.
