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 theme for NRW 2020 is ‘In This Together’ and reminds us whether in a crisis or in reconciliation we are all in this together. Australians are all In This Together; every one of us has a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures.
From online events, to films, book club, colouring-in, and learning something… here are some ways you can be In This Together in 2020.
