National Reconciliation Week 2019

On behalf of the Undalup Association we would like to thank the Augusta Margaret River Shire for hosting this important event in partnership with the Undalup Association of the South West WA.

National Reconciliation Week is an annual event, that 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.

The 2019 NRW theme is…

Grounded in Truth

Walk Together with Courage

At the heart of reconciliation is the relationship between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To foster positive race relations, our relationship must be grounded in a foundation of truth.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Whether you’re engaging in challenging conversations or unlearning and relearning what you know, this journey requires all of us to walk together with courage. This National Reconciliation Week, we invite Australians from all backgrounds to contribute to our national movement towards a unified future.

Our aim is to help reconnect the people spiritually, find their cultural roots, and increase the knowledge of the cultural that exists within the community today. A sense of cultural identity and connection helps preserve the culture and its practices, and by giving many the opportunities to participate in the cultural events being held during NRW, these will benefit everyone who attends.
