NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
|
|
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.
2019
is also the United Nations’ International Year of Indigenous Languages, which aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the endangerment and loss of Indigenous languages across the world. Take the UniSA Reconciliation Quiz
