Reset & Resist!
A free mob-only healing event with FYA First Nations in Naarm.
Reset & Resist! was an in-person healing event in Narrm for young mob (16–35 yrs). Following a challenging year for many mob, this gathering provided an opportunity to come together, connect, reflect, and reset in collective strength ahead of Invasion Day and the year ahead.
It was a space to yarn with other young mob in Narrm about the things that mattered to them and to celebrate Blak joy with live music and a feed. The morning at Aunty Alma’s Gathering Place was all about Reset & Resist!
This event was held in partnership with Common Ground, Koorie Youth Council (KYC), Seed Mob and National Indigenous Youth Education Coalition (NIYEC).
