LOCAL ACTION

LANDs for learning and change

Local Action Network Dialogues (LANDs) for reconciliation are building place-based learning and action to advance reconciliation through:

• grass roots education for change
• supporting Aboriginal community initiatives and rights

We are groups of like-minded people who are helping build the community understanding we need for a just Australia, where we all walk together to make change.

What do local action networks do?

• Build relationships and respect at a community level
• Join together to educate ourselves and others through learning circles, creating community events, investigating regional history, and much more
• Learn about and support the initiatives of Aboriginal organisations and communities in the local area, including cultural activities and respecting country
• Promote reconciliation in our networks including local networks.

Local initiatives include:

• Social gatherings celebrating reconciliation events and achievements.
• Discussions to find new ways to learn about and walk with Tasmania’s First Peoples
• Supporting and promoting Aboriginal community events
• Organising local events such as bush food stalls, reconciliation information tables, or film nights
• Workshops with community groups, cultural burning in land care, and much more
• Researching and supporting recognition of significant local places and stories
