The competition was launched to celebrate the International Year of Indigenous Language through the Diversity Network Australia (DNA) to encourage elders, children and young people to share their stories, poems, songs, language and art with the world.
Sumu wrote about the wellbeing of Vanuatu youth while Kelvin shared her thoughts about her sense of purpose and a poem about belonging and village life.
