Celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day, Wednesday, 7 September

The Indigenous Literacy Day (ILD) National Digital Event is proudly produced and presented by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and hosted by the Sydney Opera House. This free short film is available from 10:30am AEST on Wednesday, 7 September and then will be available for 90 days and is suitable for all ages. Register at ilf.org.au/ILD.

The digital event is an engaging 20-minute film sharing Stories, Cultures and Languages from two Communities in remote Northern Territory: Tiwi Islands and Jilkminggan. Children from these Communities introduce themselves based on connection with each other, their family and their Country. Special guest, ILF ambassador and music icon Jesssica Mauboy is taught to sing a well-loved song in Mangarrayi and Tiwi by children before ILF ambassador, author and performer, Gregg Dreise shares the song in his language, Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay. This is an example of one song, in three languages from three different Nations of Australia.

This Indigenous Literacy Day digital event  is an opportunity for all Australians to celebrate the  multilingual and multi-literacy of First Nations children and experience a joyful snippet of life in remote Communities. Register now at ilf.org.au/ILD
