A free event will be held at Byron Theatre on the evening of Survival Day to celebrate the launch of Yolŋu Elder Rev Dr Djiniyini Gondarra’s Truth-Telling Together education movement.
The campaign will inspire all Australians to commit to the journey of educating themselves and others about Indigenous history and culture and to become well-informed about the issues Indigenous Australians face from colonisation.
With over 60 years as a cross-cultural educator and mediator and staunch advocate for Treaty, Dr Gondarra believes through education comes mutual respect, and from there the pathway opens to solutions that are not tokenistic but meaningful and empowering for First Nations people.
There will be a line-up of special guests from across Australia sharing their truth through music, storytelling and poetry as well as the screening of Dr Gondarra’s award winning film Luku Ngärra: The Law of the Land.
This free event has been sponsored by Our Generation Media and Planet Corrobboree.
Don’t miss out, book your seats at the Byron Theatre at www.byroncentre.com.au.
