Constitutional Recognition Forum

This March, the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) will host a Constitutional Recognition Forum for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. The Forum will provide young Indigenous Australians from across the country with an opportunity to come together to learn about Constitutional Recognition and develop a youth driven campaign.

NCIE will bring together 96 young Indigenous Australians (aged 16-25) from across the country to spend three days at the NCIE to participate in the Forum.  NCIE would like to have each State and Territory represented by 12 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

The program for the Forum will be driven by young Indigenous Australians, as the legacy of this Constitutional Recognition process will be one that is inherited by young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. NCIE has secured support from key event partners, including the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, and the Forum will give participants the opportunity to speak directly with decision makers, including politicians and members of the Expert Panel about their campaign.
