Event Theme: The Next Generation – Strength, Vision & Legacy

This year’s NAIDOC theme reflects ECU’s enduring commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, leadership, and cultural integrity.

As we celebrate 20 years of Kurongkurl Katitjin and prepare for our move to the City campus in 2026, we honour the past, embrace present strengths, and look ahead to a shared future.
 

About the ECU NAIDOC Speaker Series

Held monthly from July to November, the series is guided by the five life layers of ECU's Cultural Narrative Framework, and will explore:

• Strength in Indigenous knowledge systems and intergenerational resilience
• Vision of trailblazers in education and advocacy
• Legacy built through investing in the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, scholars, and communities

These events aim to foster respect, truth-telling, and self-determination.

ECU's Cultural Narrative Life Layers in Action | Djinda Worlal—the Stars and Sky

The Life Layers from ECU's Cultural Narrative, a gift from Whadjuk Noongar Elders, offers the ECU community a strategic framework that complements and enriches our University objectives. 

At this event, the audience will learn more about Djinda Worlal—the Stars and Sky Life Layer of the framework. This session will delve into what Djinda Worlal represents and how it manifests in practice, offering deeper insight into the foundational cultural values that shape our shared journey.

This is a free and ticketed event, open to the public, facilitated by Professor Braden Hill, ECU's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students, Equity and Indigenous).
