NAIDOC Week 2024 | Phoenix Support For Educators

NAIDOC Week 2024

7-14 July 2024


National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.  (NAIDOC Week | NAIDOC)

To honour NAIDOC celebrations across Australia, we have put together a list of resources researched by our senior facilitator, Tara Hill.


2024 NAIDOC WEEK THEME: Keep The Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud



Indigenous Australia Maps

The AIATSIS map serves as a visual reminder of the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia. It was created in 1996 as part of the Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia project and attempts to show language, social or nation groups based on published sources available up to 1994.


Resource Highlight: Narragunnawali - RAP in early childhood and schools


A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a formal commitment to reconciliation. It documents how your school or early learning service will strengthen relationships, respect and opportunities in the classroom, around the school/service and with the community.


Schools and early learning services can develop a RAP using the Narragunnawali platform to register and extend on existing initiatives, or to begin their reconciliation journeys.
