NAIDOC Theme 2025 – The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy
This year’s theme calls on us to invest in and uplift the next generation, our future leaders, knowledge holders, and change-makers.
It’s a celebration of the strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the vision that drives self-determination and cultural survival, and the legacy that continues to be passed down through story, song, language, and activism.
It’s also a call to action: to recognise the importance of intergenerational connection and to empower our children and young people to dream big, walk proud, and lead with culture.
