Participate and educate

Get up, stand up and show up, is the message for NAIDOC Week celebrations this year.

The national event is held across Australia, and Moorabool in the first week of July each year, to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples. It is an opportunity to learn about, and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

In Moorabool, Council will be hosting and promoting a calendar of events and activities for NAIDOC Week, at Moorabool Libraries from 3-10 July.

Indigenous artist and weaver Michelle Napanangka Earl, will present a woven raffia bracelet making class, by instructional video, whilst Jayden Lillyst a Gunditjmara singer, songwriter and educator, will be the presenter for the July BacchChat. Mr Lillyst will also present NAIDOC Storytime at the Lerderderg Library.
