For the very first time, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is participating in this year’s "National Reconciliation Week".
What is National Reconciliation Week?
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is celebrated across Australia each year between 27 May and 3 June. The dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey—the anniversaries of the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision.
The week is a time for all ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½s to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements and to explore how each of us can join the national reconciliation effort.
What is the theme?
The theme for NRW 2015 is It’s time to change it up.
NRW is a chance for us to take some fresh action to spark a change in our school, workplace or community—no matter how big or small. We’re changing it up by working to engage the next generation through Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Schools and Early Learning, and we’re working to fix historical exclusion and end discrimination against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through Recognise.
Kind regards,
Dr. Sonia Cheema
