27
May
Proclamation Day on 27 May is a special day in Australia when people remember an important event from 1967. On this day, many years ago, Australians voted in a big decision to change the country's rules. The change allowed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be counted as part of the population and gave the government more power to make laws for them. This was a big step towards treating everyone more fairly. Every year, on Proclamation Day, people think about this moment and how it helped bring more equality and understanding between different cultures in Australia.
How to celebrate Proclamation Day?
You can celebrate Proclamation Day by hosting a fun picnic with your friends and family. Bring your favorite snacks and play some outdoor games like tag or soccer. You can also make colorful banners or flags to decorate the picnic area. Take turns sharing what you like most about living where you do. You could also bake cookies or cupcakes and decorate them with symbols or colors that represent Proclamation Day. As the sun sets, gather around and sing your favorite songs or tell stories. Finish the day by watching fireworks if they are allowed in your area.
