Yesterday and today the students will view a short film showing an adventure through 3 remote Aboriginal Communities to learn about the diverse ways storytelling makes their communities strong. They then viewed a livestreamed performance at Sydney Opera House where Indigenous Literacy Foundation Ambassadors and special guests hosted performances celebrating Aboriginal storytelling.
