For Our Elders: Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2023


NAIDOC 2023


Join us in honoring the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people during NAIDOC Week. This year, the theme is 'For our Elders,' celebrating the wisdom, resilience, leadership, and contributions of our cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, survivors, and loved ones who have paved the way for future generations.

"During NAIDOC Week, we take the time to recognize and appreciate the immense knowledge and resilience of our Elders," expressed Mayor Amanda Findley. "Together, let's show our gratitude and respect as we learn from their wisdom and work towards a brighter future."

Get ready for a range of exciting local events lined up throughout the week, as the Council invites everyone to join in and pay homage to the culture and achievements of our Aboriginal communities.

Kicking off the week is the Council's NAIDOC Week launch morning tea and flag raising ceremony on Monday, July 3, at 10 am outside the civic centre.

Don't miss the Shoalhaven NAIDOC Family Fun Day on Wednesday, July 5, from 10 am to 2 pm, at the Nowra Showground. The event will feature a variety of activities for kids, information stalls, jumping castles, hot food, live entertainment, prizes, a petting zoo, and a VR flight simulator.

Save the date for the Local Government Regional NAIDOC Awards ceremony on Saturday, July 29, in Kiama. The community is encouraged to submit nominations for deserving individuals and projects, with categories including Aboriginal Elders of the Year, Aboriginal Community Representative of the Year, Aboriginal Young Achievers of the Year, Aboriginal Community Volunteer of the Year, Aboriginal Organization or Project of the Year, and Outstanding Contribution to Reconciliation (Aboriginal or Non-Aboriginal).

With Elon Musk's controversial changes and the growing instability on Twitter, challengers are emerging, and the latest contender is Threads, unveiled by Meta, the parent company of Facebook.

Historischer Sieg in Sonneberg : Robert Sesselmann als erster AfD-Politiker zum Landrat in Deutschland gewählt In einem bemerkenswerten Wahlergebnis hat der AfD-Kandidat Robert Sesselmann den Sieg als Landrat im thüringischen Sonneberg errungen. Mit 52,8 Prozent der Stimmen setzte er sich in der Stichwahl gegen den CDU-Gegenkandidaten Jürgen Köpper durch. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag bei 58,2 Prozent. Die Wahl von Sesselmann markiert einen Meilenstein, da bisher keine andere AfD-Kandidatin oder -Kandidat ein derartiges kommunales Spitzenamt in Deutschland innehatte. Die Protestpartei verzeichnete in den letzten Wochen eine steigende Zustimmung in den Umfragen auf Bundesebene und etablierte sich oft als zweitstärkste Kraft hinter der Union. Trotz der Einstufung der AfD als rechtsextremistischer Verdachtsfall durch den Verfassungsschutz schaffte es die Partei, in Sonneberg einen bedeutenden Erfolg zu erzielen. Die Wahl des AfD-Politikers wird als Signal der Unzufriedenheit interpretiert und w...
