Seed National Summit 2026
Applications are now open to register your interest for the 2026 Seed National Summit.
About the Summit
The Seed National Summit brings together young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across the continent to connect, learn, build skills, and strengthen our movement for climate justice.
Over several days, participants will take part in workshops, campaign training, cultural activities, storytelling, strategy sessions, and opportunities to build lasting relationships with other young people fighting to protect Country.
Whether you've been involved with Seed for years or you're looking to get involved for the first time, we'd love to hear from you.
