SUMMARY:SNAICC Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOUR CHILDREN\, OUR RIGHTS\, OUR WAY \n\n\n\n\nSNAICC’23 – the 10th SNAICC National Conference will give delegates a safe space to learn\, share and network about early childhood education and care\, and child protection issues that impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. \nThis event will bring together like-minded individuals and organisations for a celebration of culture and country\, focused on the work we do to elevate the voices of our children and families. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture must play an integral role in developing positive outcomes for early childhood education and care when it comes to our children. Our strength and vitality have been passed down to us through rich cultural traditions\, shared by the voices of those who have come before us. By creating layers of culturally safe protection\, support and community around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children\, we can enable them to grow into elders whose voices can be echoed for generations to come. \n\n\n
