The 2024 AIATSIS Summit Youth Forum will draw together young native title holders, students, community organisers, advocates and other stakeholders to discuss
the experiences of Indigenous youth in, and opportunities to engage with, native title, governance and nation-building.
By bringing young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people together who have a shared interest in native title, governance and nation-building, delegates will have the opportunity to form valuable relationships and networks to support one another along their journeys.
