Walking Together is a three hour workshop Uluru Statement from the Heart as the framework.

Developed and facilitated by Youth Off The Streets’ Nicole Laupepa and Jacqui Parker – First Nations and non-Indigenous trainers respectively – along side the Sydney Alliance (sister to Hunter Community Alliance) Walking Together enables and empowers the wider community to take positive action towards a fairer and more just Australia in the lead up to the referendum, for a YES vote.

What we offer

Educational workshop

In this half-day workshop, participants gain a deeper understanding of who we are as a nation and how to take meaningful action towards reconciliation. The content covers the importance of a Voice to Parliament, how individuals and organisations can play a role in ensuring it is established, and why reconciliation is an ongoing journey that requires action from us all.

You’ll learn about:

• The invitation to all Australians in the Uluru Statement from the Heart
• The importance of Voice, Treaty and Truth
• A Voice to Parliament – to the referendum and beyond
• The concept of ‘Makarrata’
• Accepting the invitation in the Uluru Statement with purposeful advocacy that advances reconciliation in Australia

What people are saying about Walking Together

“I’m glad my organisation is taking responsibility and progressing in its cultural responsibility.”

“Hearing the different experiences between non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal teachers was really interesting. I also enjoyed learning that the invitation in the Uluru Statement is for everyone.”

“I loved that the workshop was so inclusive. The exploitation of one group is the exploitation of us all.”
“I loved hearing the mix of personal experience and history of First Nations people. I left feeling moved emotionally and so informed on how to take practical steps towards reconciliation”.
