Now more than ever, we need to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation. We know that the 6.2 million Australians who voted YES are committed to better outcomes for First Nations Peoples and are with us.

There have been many moments in Australia's reconciliation journey that make you want to turn away. But when things are divisive, the worst thing we can do is disengage or disconnect. Together, we must build on the work of the past and create a legacy for the future. Now more than ever, the work continues: in Truth-Telling, understanding our history, education, and tackling institutionalised inequity. We need connection. We need respect. We need action. And, we need change.  Now more than ever, we need reconciliation.

Uncle Charles Pakana, Founder and Editor in Chief of Victorian Aboriginal News, and Margaret Hepworth, with over thirty years teaching Indigenous Studies, and Victorian Education Coordinator for Together for Humanity, come together in this compelling and informative webinar to help you bring clarity to your classrooms. Four key themes will be explored:

The Uluru Statement from the Heart is still relevant and current in its messaging
Unpacking the advancement of Treaty in Victoria and the Yoorrook Justice Commission
How do we be strong allies?
How do we engage with local Aboriginal organisations and local reconciliation groups?

We will be sharing resources and ideas for experiential learning. This webinar is 'tailor made' for educators.

This webinar will be published on Reconciliation Victoria’s website.

Reconciliation Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Victoria, and recognises First Peoples continuing connection to lands, waters, and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present who carry the memories, traditions, cultures, and aspirations of First Peoples, and who forge the path ahead for emerging leaders.
