Kids in Action Program 2019

To celebrate UNESCO’s international Year of Indigenous Languages, the 2019 Kids in Action theme was Connecting to Country: Celebrating nature’s icons. Schools were encouraged to choose a native species (flora or fauna) significant to their school and through connecting with and learning from their local Traditional Custodians across Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Countries, develop a deep understanding of the ecological role and cultural significance of their species. Under the guidance of local Traditional Custodians, students learned about their iconic species, they learned language and they began a journey towards becoming passionate custodians of Country.

You can check out all the fun and learning from the Environmental Projects Day and the Kids-Teaching-Kids Conference.
