WA's Commissioner for Children and Young People is calling on children and young people to help create an Acknowledgement of Country that reflects their voices.
Children are encouraged, through words and/or drawings, to be creative and sincere in sharing their respect for the Traditional Custodians of the land they stand on, as well as the continuing connection for Indigenous people to Country, land, and waters.
Noongar Woman Tracey Ninyette, the Commissioner for Children and Young People in WA said the aim of the project, in line with this year's theme for Youth Week WA—"Our Threads, This Place, Your Moment"—is to "encourage children and young people to think about their connection to community and each other".
Commissioner Ninyette and her team will choose and combine the selected entries to then create an Acknowledgement which will be used going forward by the organisation.
All submissions will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $50 kids/teen voucher.
Entry is free and open to all WA children and young people aged under 18 years. Entries can be submitted online until Wednesday, 14 May.
For more information about this project and the terms and conditions for participating, visit the Commissioner's website.
