Date: Wednesday, 17 September 2025
Time: 5pm - 7:45pm

In collaboration with Museums of History NSW, this was an evening of inspiring conversation, connection and celebration as the panel explored the theme Let our Voices Fly, a call to honour Aboriginal Languages, supporting their revitalisation and imagining bold futures where Language is soaring for generations to come.

This event is part of the lead-up to NSW Aboriginal Languages Week 2025 held from 19 - 26 October and offered an unique opportunity to hear from Community Language practitioners and influential Aboriginal community leaders about the importance of Language revitalisation. 

The panel also highlighted the Access to Archives project, a collaboration between the Aboriginal Languages Trust and Museums of History that uncovers Language records and archives within the State Archives Collection and reconnects them to the Communities they belong to.
