Our celebrations kick off with Uncle Amos sharing language and culture through stories and song. A screening of the Indigenous Literacy Day Film and a live stream event will follow, with light refreshments and a morning of book swapping to follow.
Event times:
•10am – Uncle Amos sharing language and culture through song, dance, puppets
•10:30am – Live film screening – Indigenous Literacy Day FILM
•10:50am – A 45-minute Livestream event direct from The Sydney Opera House, where special guests such as Lucas Proudfoot, Bianca Hunt, Josh Pyke, Andy Griffiths will host performances celebrating Aboriginal storytelling.
This is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference together! See you there!
