For Auntie Di Langham, our Director of Reconciliation, it’s a time to reflect and share stories with the younger generation.
“Reconciliation Week for me is a chance to remember a lot of my family,” she says.
“It’s a chance to reminisce about what has happened, tell our children, and start truth-telling with the general public.”
The theme for 2023 is ‘Be a Voice for Generations’. It calls for all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work, and socialise.
National Reconciliation Week encourages us all to play our part in building relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.
