NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 24/09/2025

On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Special Guests today from the Pormpur Paanthu Aboriginal Corporation Pormpuraaw Youth Summit, connecting with young leaders from across the Cape! This summit is all about investing in our next generation. Trendy Trev is there to inspire, guide and lead but also to listen, learn, and support their vision for the future. He yarns with guests about the work they do, their involvement with the summit and what they are expecting from their time there.

Teena Akiba, Rise Ventures Program Coordinator, talking about tackling driver’s licenses through a driver’s simulator. The driving simulator is the perfect tool for helping our youth to practice their driving skills and knowledge of the road rules to prepare for their driving tests. If you’re a First Nations teen looking to gain your license, come and see the rise team or get in touch with their team. Their Youth Oasis is located at 33 Edgar Street, Bungalow, Gimuy/Cairns or email them at: youthcoaches@riseventures.com.au
