Reconciliation Week gives all Australians a chance to come together in the fight for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice, sovereignty and equality.
This year's theme of All In calls for all Australians to commit actively and wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.
Reconciliation Week is an opportunity to connect meaningfully with Country and Culture, and listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and stories.
From reconciliation walks and workshops to film screenings and art exhibitions, these are some Reconciliation Week events to attend all around Australia.
