ππ€πβ€οΈ Indigenous Literacy Day
Today we acknowledge Indigenous Literacy Day and raise awareness about the importance of literacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living in remote communities across Australia. Today highlights the role that access to books, education, storytelling, language and culture plays in creating opportunities and strengthening communities.
Indigenous Literacy Day is also a celebration of the rich cultures, languages and stories of First Nations peoples. It recognises that literacy extends beyond reading and writing, encompassing the sharing of knowledge, traditions and cultural identity from one generation to the next.
This year's theme,"Country Is Our Teacher," acknowledges the important lessons that Country, culture, Elders, family and community provide, reminding us that learning happens in many ways and places.
At Look Now Training, we believe that education and lifelong learning create pathways to greater opportunities, stronger connections and more inclusive communities. Today, we encourage everyone to take a moment to learn about Indigenous Literacy Day, listen to First Nations voices, and celebrate the stories and languages that continue to shape Australia's cultural identity.
