a list of events to help you engage with community this national sorry day

Ahead of National Reconciliation Week taking hold of the country from May 27th, we’ve compiled a list of community events from all around the country to help you reflect, connect, celebrate, mourn and imagine a better future for First Nations people in so-called Australia. Tomorrow – May 26th – marks National Sorry Day, an apt time to take a moment to reach out to offer support to the community around you. Just like this year’s National Reconciliation Week theme reflects, it’s ‘all in’ for all of us to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation – today and every day.
