Relationships are key: Engaging with Family Day Care
Read how Empowered Family Day Care worked collaboratively with Inclusion Support QLD to engage in critical reflection to support the inclusion of all children.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day aims to empower children by instilling pride in their heritage and highlighting the importance of their cultural identity as a sacred, strong and valuable asset.
This year’s theme, Living Our Truth, honours the power of truth-telling, the sharing of knowledge across generations and the importance of telling our stories in ways that strengthen culture, identity and community.
In 1998, the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day was established. August 4th is the commemorative birthdate given to all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed and displaced from their families, communities, Countries, and Cultures. Whilst birthdays are times to celebrate and create new memories, August 4 is a time for reflection and recognition of all the children who today are known as the Stolen Generation or Stolen Children.
