LOCAL ACTION

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

  • Grass roots education for change
  • Supporting First Peoples’ initiatives and self-determination

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.
