Adelaide is built on an ancient place, on the plains between pristine oceans and an ancient mountain belt. It is a unique geographical, ecological and cultural place, that has been to home Kaurna people for many thousands of years, as one of humanity’s longest living cultures. It has a thriving arts and cultural festivals and great universities – all surrounded by parkland, pristine coastline and productive food and wine regions.

As part of Global Conscious Cities Festival, Conscious Adelaide will focus on bringing the voice of young people to conversations about the identity, mood, mindsets and meanings of the place, in a festival of questions and conversations about what it means ‘to be’ Adelaide, now and into the future.
