The 2017 Koorie Youth Summit took place on the lands of the Wurundjeri people on 14 and 15 June at Mantra, Bell City, Preston.
The theme, ‘Our Identity, Our Resilience, Our Story,’ is the expressive and collective power that we, as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, posses and display in our communities.
The Summit artwork was created by Rochelle Patten Jnr, a Yorta Yorta and Gunai Kurnai woman.
