While the government and the public have made strides in apologising and giving back to the indigenous people of Australia, socially they still suffer from prejudice and stereotyping.

What do you know about the original owners of the land?

as Azure Library's part in NAIDOC week, "Native Wisdom" is a Human Library event featuring 4 indigenous "books" to read. You are invited to come and learn more about aboriginal culture, customs and history. 

Whether you are aboriginal yourself and wanting to connect to that side of you, or you simply want to know more about Aboriginal culture, you are invited to attend!

"Borrow" 1 of 4 "books" and delve into their life story, asking and learning about Aboriginal culture and history from a different perspective.

 Don't know what a Human Library event is?

A Human Library event is an event where real people act as "books" for community members to have a safe dialogue and openly discuss topics and issues. This event acts as a safe place for representatives of particular groups to let others know about their perspective.

Indigenous treasures, await during leisure.

Technology is advancing, and efficiency is increasing......

However......

Those touching Indigenous stories are gradually disappearing......

Do you know? 

Australia's Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are one the oldest continuous civilizations on earth, and that is why we need pay more care to protect them. 

With hundreds of cultural groups, clans, 600 dialects, and 250 languages, but only make up approximately 3.3% of Australia's population today. 

 

Why we do?

This initiative aims not only to foster communication and exchange among our community members but also to demonstrate our commitment to Indigenous culture. 

What we do?

In preparation for Indigenous Literacy Day, Azure Beach Public Library plans to host a Human Library event. During this event, we will invite various "Human Books" to share their personal stories about Indigenous culture with the audience in one-on-one sessions

When?

September 7th

1:30pm-3:30pm
