National Reconciliation Week
BE BRAVE. MAKE CHANGE
National Reconciliation Week is an important time for ANU community to learn about and celebrate Australian First Nations peoples, their histories and cultures, and to explore how each of us can contribute to the reconciliation movement.
This year's theme is “Be Brave. Make Change,” – a challenge to all of us to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation to drive change for the benefit of Australian society.
