STORY WEEK 2025: 11-26 October
VIEW ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Story Week acknowledges that we share our words and stories on unceded Aboriginal and Zenadth Kes lands. We pay our respects to the Bidjigal, Gadigal, Dharawal. Darkinjung, and Awabakal peoples, the rightful owners of the Countries from which much of Story Week will take place or be streamed. Story Week would also like to recognise the Ancestors, Elders, and young people from all Indigenous communities across this great land.We honour the sacrifices made by the First Nations' peoples of this continent, understanding that all settlers benefit from stolen land, and we pledge to continue our work towards equity and reparations in all forms of storytelling.
Story Week – Grow Deeper
Where are the stories we share? Around the dinner table? The backyard cook-up? The long drive back from holiday? Over a hot drink?
With the loss of incidental gatherings - the water cooler and the commute - we are now sharing encapsulated pockets of detail in meetings on a screen. In-person only happens with people in our personal world.
Is this enough?
Story Week asks what stories are we telling now, how, why, when and where? We meet people where they are. Simply asking people during one week a year to host spaces for stories and make this your community’s focus…
