CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Reconciliation

Australia has a diversity of dynamic cultures, with indigenous peoples making an especially valued contribution to Australia’s wider cultural diversity, to our heritage and to our history.
There are divisions in Australian society that only time and constructive effort will diminish. The process of reconciliation aims to reduce these divisions and suggest ways in which relationships between indigenous and multicultural Australians can be healed, with respect for humanity on all sides.
No matter how many analytical and intellectual discussions there are, ultimately, if there is to be a significant improvement in the relationship between indigenous and other Australians, attitudes must change through education, community interaction and the practical application of cultural exchange.

Disharmony and discord can be overcome in a number of ways when Australians:-

Work with each other on simple or difficult projects;
Come together to learn and understand about the history of division and oppression;
Become aware of the ways of transition and contributions of indigenous and non-indigenous relationships; and
Embrace reconciliation.
