We're keeping the fire burning that little longer this NAIDOC season with Kaala-k Kaadidjiny: Learning around the fire

A series of three hands on workshops, gathered around the fire in the Centre's backyard, to learn about and celebrate the rich history, knowledge and proud voices that exist within Vic Park's First Nations communities.

Each session will explore a key aspect of Indigenous culture - MUSIC, FOOD and STORYTELLING from four moorditj community leaders: Dylan Collard (Kalyakoorl), Rohan Collard (Dooga Waalitj Healing), Roni Forrest (Wildfire Indigenous Education & Cultural Consultants) and Jayden Boundry (Ngalak Nidja).

All events are FREE and family friendly! Everyone is welcome who wants to listen, learn and connect to this beautiful, strong and wise culture and people.

Come to one, or come to them all!
