Special Release
This resource series was developed by Jajoo Warrngara’s First Nations education team to support national moments of truth-telling, celebration, and critical reflection. These lessons respond to the 2025 NAIDOC theme: The Next Generation – Strength, Vision & Legacy.
The series draws from the lived experiences, histories, and cultural knowledges of First Nations peoples across timelines and the continent, offering students a chance to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and imagine the future.
Students explore the concept of ‘vision’ by learning from the past and imagining the future. They investigate key moments of First Nations activism using the Storying Our Shared Histories timeline. Drawing on their knowledge of current issues, students create a future timeline of imagined events and develop a character profile for a fictional changemaker.
Students are introduced to the role of protest in shaping society and explore how protest has been used to challenge injustice and spark change across Australia and globally. Students research protest as both political and creative expression, and are supported to develop their own artistic responses to issues they care about today.
