5 Deadly Tips to Celebrate National Reconciliation Week
Tip 1: Participate in a simultaneous learning experience with “All Together Now for Reconciliation”. 
 
Across Australia children in early learning centres, primary and high schools, can simultaneously join the reconciliation movement and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices via an exciting online platform we have developed in partnership with Reconciliation NSW.
 
“All Together Now for Reconciliation” is a simultaneous classroom experience specially created to provide easy and accessible cultural content and is a great way to engage kids in activities for National Reconciliation Week. Students will learn about the theme of Reconciliation through age-appropriate activities and discussions:
 
  • Early Childhood and Kindergarten students learn about caring for Country by singing songs and sharing stories about the land. 
 
  • Stage 1 students consider the similarities and differences of newborn babies through Storytelling with Aunty Nita and explore where racism comes from. The history of multiculturalism in Australia is explored by Stage 2 with an episode of Grace Beside Me.
 
  • Stage 3 observe a social experiment that explores the idea of trust in relation to skin colour and Stage 4 students investigate stereotypes in the portrayal of the Australian identity.
 
To participate join us online at www.togethernow.com.au. 
 
Tip 2: Learn more about this year’s theme.
 
Visit the Reconciliation Australia website to learn more about the 2020 theme “In this together”. While you’re there download this year’s poster to display in your classroom.
 
Tip 3: Have an open discussion in your classroom. 
 
What does reconciliation mean to your students? Encourage your students to explores the five dimensions of reconciliation as identified by the State of Reconciliation in Australian 2016 Report – historical acceptance, race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity and unity. 
 
Tip 4: Learn more about the significance of the dates at the beginning and end of National Reconciliation Week. 
 
National Reconciliation Week is held on the same dates every year – 27 May to 3 June. Both these dates mark two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, which gave the Australian Government the power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to include them in the Census; and the High Court Mabo decision, which saw the concept of terra nullius overturned. 
 
Our Wingaru Kids platform provides informative and engaging lessons on both these important dates with our “1967 Referendum” and “Mabo” lessons. Each lesson includes a lesson plan, curriculum outcomes, video, digital activities and printable resources. 
 
Tip 5: Check out one of the Reconciliation activities 
 
National Reconciliation Week 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. Visit the Reconciliation Australia website check out this year’s National Reconciliation Week events. ​​
