“Teaching you to fish proper way for tomorrow” – Uncle Jimmy
Let’s look at the big words and what they mean:
Advocacy – Standing up and speaking out for community
Council – Local mob who make decisions about community
Let’s hear from Sammy: Sharing knowledge
1: Passing on knowledge
Here are the five key learning points from the family’s story about passing on knowledge:
- Share what you learn with others, like we pass on fishing knowledge
- Teaching others helps keep our democratic voice strong
- Young ones need to learn about voting just like they learn about Country
- Everyone has something to share about their democratic journey
- Learning from each other makes our whole community stronger
