22.01.2022 What is Practical Reconciliation? Practical Reconciliation is the actions you can take to make a difference towards creating an inclusive and honest national identity and strengthen relationships. It begins with a desire to connect, and when this desire is combined with proper training and strategy, real connections are forged. ... Having trained tens of thousands of people to connect with, acknowledge and celebrate the original inhabitants of our beautiful country, we believe that practical reconciliation is a burning desire of many, if not most, Australians. We have developed our Seven Steps to Practical Reconciliation framework to support all Australians to begin a journey of self-reflection, cultural competency and action. #CulturalAwarenessTraining #IndigenousEducation #PracticalReconciliation

22.01.2022 Newspapers often get it wrong. So do non-profits, charities, even government organisations but not you! Ever wondered which words need capital letters when you’re talking about our First Nations Peoples? Correct use of capital letters can be a really fantastic way of being an ally and showing your respect and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.... In this video, we show you some words that are commonly not capitalised (but should be). Is it ‘aboriginal’ or ‘Aboriginal’? ‘Indigenous’ or ‘indigenous’? ‘Country’ or ‘country’? TIme to find out! Warning: once you know, you will not be able to resist correcting other people when they make the same mistakes #BuildingCulture #Reconciliation

20.01.2022 How does Dreamtime relate to time? People often mistakenly talk about Dreamtime as a relic of the past but in the Aboriginal worldview, the past, present and future are one. Time is not linear, but a circle.... Western science has only recently come to this same realisation, largely through the work of quantum physics. Curious? Our co-Director Aunty Munya Andrews has written a bestselling book 'Journey Into Dreamtime' which invites you to share in the world's oldest living culture. Dreamtime is not just for Aboriginal people, it's for everyone. So what are you waiting for?

19.01.2022 Is the Australian Dream of home ownership at odds with Reconciliation? There's a quiet movement in Australia of families and organisations returning land to the Traditional Owners as an act of Reconciliation. It got us thinking about the ethics of property ownership, the 'Australian Dream' and the uncomfortable truth that most of us are living on stolen land.... Not everyone is in a position to give away their assets, so what can individuals, organisations and our government do? You'll find suggestions for practical steps you can take in the latest article on our website. #LandRights #StatementFromTheHeart #PracticalReconciliation https://loom.ly/zlkos6Q

15.01.2022 Aunty Munya and I are often asked How can I help in the Reconciliation process?or What can I do? Apart from educating yourself about Indigenous people and finding out more about their cultures, challenges, and the issues facing them, the good news is you can become an Ally and make a real difference. We explain what it means to be an Ally in the video below.... #PracticalReconciliation #Allyship #DiversityEquityInclusion

08.01.2022 Is Cultural Awareness Training on your to-do list this year? As well as our on-demand program, Evolve Communities offers interactive workshops, both online and in-person. We know we’ve run a session right when everyone:... has learned something new about Aboriginal culture is comfortable asking the questions they’ve always been afraid to ask feels empowered and confident to engage with First Nations people and communities going forward has had at least one good belly laugh! We think we nail this every time, but don't take our word for it, scroll through to hear what our participants have to say for themselves. #testimonials #culturalawarenesstraining #practicalreconciliation

08.01.2022 What's so important about Country? What does it mean to be connected to Country? Why do we use a capital 'C' when referring to Country?... Our co-Directors explain all in today's educational video. When Carla Rogers needed help with a complex project in two remote Aboriginal communities in 2011, a friend of hers recommended Bardi woman Munya Andrews, a lawyer and Indigenous cultural expert. It was, to say the least, a good recommendation! Ten years later, they're on a mission to create a kinder, more inclusive Australia through Cultural Awareness training. #WelcometoCountry #CulturalAwarenessTraining #PracticalReconciliation

08.01.2022 It’s been a challenging year and I’ve found myself drawing on the wisdom of four incredible women to help me get through. They’ve been really instrumental in helping shape my mindset and so I thought I’d share. Let’s see if we can get some knowledge sharing going to help carry us through the holiday break and come back to 2021 refreshed. It might be exactly what somebody else in our network needs to hear so if you’re happy to spread the love, what words of wisdom, or piec...e of advice, has helped you? #Reflect2020 #WordsOfWisdom #PracticalReconciliation

06.01.2022 The year has started with the news that Australia will finally change it’s national anthem in an attempt to recognise Indigenous history. While this is definitely a step in the right direction, Aunty Munya and I don’t believe retrofitting our current anthem goes far enough. We think it’s time for something completely new. This article we wrote last year explains why. What do you think?... #NationalAnthem #PracticalReconciliation #DiversityEquityInclusion
