History is shaped by people who have been compelled to make difficult DECISIONS. 

In 2025, South Australia’s History Festival will dive deeply into the decisions that have shaped South Australia – as an ancient meeting place, and as a state. We invite you to reflect upon these decisions – the good and the bad, the challenging and the intriguing – and discover how historic decisions impact contemporary society.   

Event organisers are encouraged to consider the various places where critical decision-making occurs, be it official, personal, or community focused. From behind closed doors to across the family dinner table, the decisions made in these settings can change the course of history.
