Term 4 2018 WORKSHOPS and EVENTS

What is a Reconciliation Action Plan? 

Does your school or organisation have one?

Examples of practical actions taken to develop and implement your organisation or school’s RAP.

 

Dr Elaine Lewis will discuss the vital role of Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) in fostering and developing higher levels of knowledge and understanding, respectful relationships and meaningful opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In workplaces, including not-for-profit organisations, RAPs may progress through four types of Reconciliation Australia plans – Reflect, Innovate, Stretch and Elevate.  In schools and early learning centres a RAP may be developed to support reconciliation, employing Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali platform.   An alternative RAP approach in Western Australian government schools may be driven by the Department of Education’s Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework.  This presentation will elaborate on the successful development and implementation of the One World Centre’s RAP and a school RAP.  These RAPs demonstrate action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.   The session will conclude with discussion and planning time to enable links to be made to individual contexts.
