#NRW2022 #BeBraveMakeChange
ANU continues to support Australia’s Reconciliation journey which is fundamental to achieving respect for, celebrating, and learning from, First Nation Peoples.
National Reconciliation Week is held annually from 27 May to 3 June. The start and end dates of this commemorative week recognise two significant milestones in Australia’s Reconciliation journey: the 1967 referendum, and the 1992 Mabo High Court decision.
ANU celebrates Reconciliation Week as a way of cultivating a deeper understanding and respect for Indigenous peoples, histories and their cultures. Reconciliation at ANU is everyone’s business, and your participation collectively builds and deepens relationships and strengthens communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The theme for Reconciliation Week 2022, “Be Brave. Make Change”, is a challenge to all Australians, to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.
