Children's Ground Invasion Day Discussion - 2024

In the lead up to Invasion Day, join Children’s Ground for a significant online discussion on systems of knowledge that continue as leading practice today and the importance of First Nations designed and led solutions.  

Leading the conversation will be an esteemed panel of First Nations speakers who have dedicated their lives to creating a better future for their communities through their extensive experience in First Nations education.  

Panellists include:

• Kathryn Gilbey - Alyawarre woman and Associate Professor Batchelor Institute

After an undeniably challenging year for First peoples, in Australia and overseas, this conversation will look to the solutions, the strength and vision of our communities and the future for our children. It will explore exciting reform and the continued fight for an end to systemic disadvantage through First Nations self-determination.

About Children's Ground:

Children's Ground is a First Nations organisation led by communities who are creating a different future for the next generation of children. 

Children’s Ground is designed for long-term change in whole communities - to shift the status quo from one where kids face a lifetime of trauma and disadvantage to a future for First Nations children filled with opportunity, joy, justice, and empowerment.  

We are community-led, bringing together First Nations and Western knowledge systems and practice expertise. Our unique 25-year approach follows a child’s life journey from early childhood to young adulthood. The approach integrates the five key pillars of life: a) learning and wellbeing; 2) family health and wellbeing; 3) community; 4) culture; 5) economic opportunity.
