SYDNEY<\/span>, July 7, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — In recognition of Australia’s<\/span> Indigenous culture and history, global live-streaming app, Bigo Live, is hosting three livestreaming panels in celebration of NAIDOC week taking place between 4th-11th July.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Through informative panels showcasing a diverse group of Indigenous peers and talent, Bigo Live is shining the spotlight onto their creators, providing them with a platform to share their stories and encourage positive connections between different communities. <\/p>\n

True to this year’s NAIDOC week theme, ‘Heal Country’, the three panels are designed to encourage conversation on Aboriginal communities nationwide, covering various topics touching on tradition, education, the future and culture.<\/p>\n

Money raised during each of the panels will go directly to the panellists and will help to better fund their ideas, assist with their missions and ladder up to a stronger interconnectedness throughout the community. <\/p>\n

"Celebrating NAIDOC Week is one of the most important times of the year for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. As an Official Bigo Host, I am glad to have the unique opportunity to share my culture as an Aboriginal man and my experiences across my networks which span from the Oceania to the United States<\/span> and Asia<\/span>," says Bigo Live Creator, Blayke Tatafu<\/span>. "I look forward to participating in these educational panel discussions and celebrating the values and culture of our community during this important time."  <\/p>\n
