NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to sit down and reflect on the value that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture bring to communities. This ‘Celebrating Community-Owned Initiatives’ webinar on Friday, 9th July 9.30am – 10.45am hosted by NAPCAN will share two projects to highlight the significance of the whole-of-community working together to raise children; a concept that First Nations communities have been implementing for tens of thousands of years. The webinar will shine a light on the amazing “Girls Can, Boys Can” initiative, a partnership project between Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Program (TFVPP) and the Larapinta Child and Family Centre (LCFC) as well as the Family Community Summit held by Child Friendly Alice.
