NAIDOC Week runs from 8 to 15 November and the theme for this year is, 'Always Was, Always Will Be' to recognise that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years.
There are activities and events happening all around the country, and here are six ways that early childhood educators and under-fives can celebrate NAIDOC Week:

Introducing the Early Learning Together @ Home project
|
Home is where the heart is, and it's also a key environment for early childhood education.
Between the ages of birth and five, much of a child's learning and development happens in the home, and a new online platform called Early Learning Together @ Home will provide quality learning-from-home materials for under-fives.
University of Wollongong Early Start has partnered with Early Childhood Australia and Playgroup Australia to undertake this project, and to see what it promises families and those working with young children, we spoke with Leanne Gibbs, Senior Manager Engagement and Translation at Early Start.
