15.01.2022 Some of our Australia Awards scholars had the opportunity to attend a Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade SA morning tea for National NAIDOC week on 12 November 2020. Rovi our Photographer in Residence shared his thoughts and photos from the morning tea. 'I have been particularly impressed by Mickey Kumatpi Marrutya O'Brien's words of wisdom and tolerance sharing this to the audience:... "Culture never divides us but brings us together. We can walk this land together. We can sit upon it. We can listen. We can observe. We can do it in harmony" As we celebrate NAIDOC in the city, I hope that this message could be spread to other international students that could not attend the event'. #alwayswasalwayswillbe

Some very valuable lessons in this article - AA@FU particularly likes the holistic approach "There are many forms and ways of support and help that must be provided for communities (...) Identify these needs for those on the frontline as well as those who will be inequitably disadvantaged during these times, and do whatever you can to support them." #FlindersFamily #AustraliaAwards
