Kids connect online for reconciliation!

Announcement posted by Wingaru Education Pty Ltd 28 May 2019

Free education resources for reconciliation week

Across Australia children in early learning centres, primary and high schools, can simultaneously join the reconciliation movement and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices via a new exciting online platform developed by Wingaru Education and Reconciliation NSW.


All Together Now for Reconciliation is a simultaneous classroom experience specially created to provide easy and accessible cultural content and is a great way to engage kids in Reconciliation for National Reconciliation Week.


Children as young as three can explore the 2019 Schools Reconciliation Challenge theme, Speaking and Listening from the Heart, by learning a song in language. The learning experiences for school students involve watching a video and participating in digital learning activities that investigate truth telling and what it takes to walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples with courage and pride.

 

The online resources provide an opportunity for many teachers and early childhood educators to get involved during National Reconciliation Week. “Education is at the core of reconciliation and bringing schools across the state together to explore reconciliation has the potential to make a powerful contribution to reconciliation in Australia.” said Professor Lindon Coombes, Chair of Reconciliation NSW. 


‘A shared understanding about Aboriginal people and history is key to reconciliation and supporting the development of this knowledge is the aim of all Wingaru resources. We are proud to partner with Reconciliation NSW on All Together Now for Reconciliation’ states Lesley Woodhouse, Director of Wingaru Education. 


Each teaching module meets curriculum objectives across six stages of learning – from Early Learning up to year 10 in High School.


All Together Now for Reconciliation is an easy and enjoyable way for teachers to connect with culturally inclusive content that will enhance their classrooms and ensure that all students are involved in reconciliation.


Join us online to participate in a simultaneous learning experience for National Reconciliation Week 2019 -  27 May – 3 June at www.togethernow.com.au

These resources are only available for a limited time from May 20 to June 30.
