🔥 Koorie Youth Summit 2026 — Together, We’re Staunch: Our Culture, Our Power 

We’re excited to announce the theme for the 2026 Koorie Youth Summit, Together, We’re Staunch: Our Culture, Our Power, dreamed up by our incredible Summit Working Group members. 

This year’s theme is a call to young mob across Victoria to recognise the strength we hold together as a community. Grounded in KYC’s youth-led foundations, the Summit Working Group has shaped this statewide gathering to ensure the Summit remains a powerful space for connection, knowledge-sharing, and capacity-building. 

Young mob hold power within themselves and that power grows stronger when we stand together. Across Victoria, young people have many different experiences and passions, but one truth remains constant: the strength we draw from culture, lore, law, Country, and the teachings of our Elders and ancestors. 

We can’t wait to launch the full program in the coming weeks, featuring incredible Keynote Speakers, community leaders, experts, and change-makers from in and around the Koorie community. 

Stay tuned for: 
• Program announcements 
• Artwork reveal 
• Registration opening 

🔥 When: 13–15 May 2026 
🔥 Where: Bunjil Place, Narre Warren, VIC 

Registrations are opening soon!
