Happy National Children's Day 2022! This year's theme is 'My Dreaming, My Future'

“Every child is born into a story. That story comes from their family's history and ancestral connections. The Dreaming. That child must then shape that story into their own. Through created opportunities, whilst finding their place within family, community, and in society. Their Future.” SNAICC staff member

This Children’s Day, ask the children in your life "what Dreaming means to them, how they interpret this in their lives and identity, and hear what their aspirations are for the future."
