A climate and land symposium is taking place from 12 to 16 September at Mparntwe-Alice Springs, offering a timely weaving of Indigenous knowledges, western science, practices and hope in stories and conversations around the theme ‘Our Climate, Our Planet, Our Future’.

Interspersed with short films, poetry, music videos and live performance, the Yarning Circle will speak to and with a diverse audience looking for hope and ways to bring caring for country and climate to the forefront, locally and nationally, at a time when the political backdrop is listening and looking to act.
