To start off, we want to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we're all on. ReachOut is based on Gadigal Land and we extend that acknowledgement to all the incredible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Country each of our community members come to us from. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future, and to all First Nations people in our community too. ❤️💛🖤
National Reconciliation Week is a time for us to learn about our history and culture, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. What does reconciliation mean? Sancia shares what reconciliation means to them - have a read here. And Zoe shares her thoughts here too.
This year's National Reconciliation Week theme is "Be Brave. Make Change.” It is a challenge for individuals, families, communities, organisations and government—to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change. Not sure how you can do that? Alice has some great tips here on how to be an ally to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
What are some ways you are going to be brave and make change? Let us know in the comments below!
