This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme is ‘More than a word: Reconciliation Takes Action’.
‘Action’ can come in many forms. Attending a march, supporting a community-led organisation, speaking out against racism or learning more about the history of colonisation are a few of the actions which promote reconciliation.
Another way to take action is by attending or getting involved in a Reconciliation Week event. Here’s a list of some events happening around SA, this Reconciliation Week:
