Join us in Bridging Now to Next, this National Reconciliation Week π€πβ€οΈ
National Reconciliation Week (NRW), 27 May – 3 June, 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.
This yearβs theme βBridging Now to Nextβ reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. Bridging Now to Next calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
There are many things you can do to support and celebrate Mob this National Reconciliation Week:
π¬ Watch thought-provoking media that sparks important conversations and enables you to see things from a different perspective. For example, Bruce Pascoe`s @tedx_official talk: A real history of Aboriginal Australians, the First Agriculturalists, the TV series `The Australian Wars`, or the film `Sweet As`.
π Read a range of books by First Nations authors that offer a starting point to your ongoing journey of reading, enjoying and learning. For example, `Dark Emu` by Bruce Pascoe, `Cry Baby` by @mabellgibson and `The White Girl` by Tony Birch.
π Listen to and enjoy the music of a wide range of talented First Nations artists, like @dabakerboy, @thelmaplum, @ziggyramo, @barkaa__ and many more.
π Access educational and informational resources that build your cultural knowledge and awareness. For example, take the `CurtinX: Noongar Language and Culture` @edxonline course, complete `Dandjoo Kaadadjiny (Learning Together)` via Curtin Challenge, volunteer for one of Curtin Volunteers! Remote and Indigenous Programs or incorporate an On-Country Nyungar Culture and Identity unit into your degree next semester.
π€ Diversify your social media feed by following First Nations creators, organisations and news outlets to expand your cultural understanding. For example, @deadlyconnections, @idknowyourself, @clothingthegaps, @natindigtimes, @abcindigenous, @nitv_au and more.
