National Reconciliation Week

2023 Events

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 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 dates for NRW are the same each year; 27 May to 3 June.

 

Every year workplaces, schools, early learning services, community groups, reconciliation groups, and people right across the country host a whole range of activities.

 

You can also add your own event to this calendar or register your private event.

Brooke Wandin is a Wurundjeri woman, and began studying Woiwurrung in 2018. This led to a State Library Victoria Fellowship to gather and find knowledge – wurrung bagungga ba yiaga. During her time at the library, Brooke began to understand the scope of materials that relate to her precious ancient endangered language.

Join us as Brooke shares her language journey, which involved using archival documentation and audio recordings to reconstruct Woiwurrung.

She will also discuss how Woiwurrung was documented in the past, and how she has been teaching her family and school students at Healesville Primary School.Brooke Wandin is a Wurundjeri woman and began studying Woiwurrung in 2018.
