National Reconciliation Week?


What is National Reconciliation Week?

Sunday 2 June is Reconciliation Sunday. National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories,
cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation
journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo
decision respectively.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful
relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

 

How can we participate

1. Begin a journey of cultural awareness by a visit to this
website  http://www.shareourpride.org.au/

2. Acknowledgement of country at our service
3. Flying of both the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.

4. The screening of a recommended Indigenous film on 1 June ?
