What's On: National Reconciliation Week in Sydney

Good intentions are lovely. Action is better. 

National Reconciliation Week runs from Wednesday, 27 May to Wednesday, 3 June. This year's theme "All In" is a reminder that reconciliation isn't something you observe from the sidelines. 

If you're looking to listen, learn, or take part this week, here are a few things worth knowing about — all accessible during the workday. 

Film screening at Darling Square Library 
Mabo Day films screen throughout the week at Darling Square Library. It's a quiet way to spend a lunch break with a bit more substance than your usual scroll. Plus, it’s free! 

The First Inventors at UTS 
This documentary screening is on throughout the week at UTS — a short walk from Circular Quay buildings. It explores First Nations innovation and invention, which is probably not what you learned in school. Worth the walk if you've got an hour for lunch.  

National Reconciliation Week Breakfast (online option) 
Reconciliation NSW is hosting a breakfast event on Thursday, 28 May, with an online stream available. It's a strong option if your team wants to do something together that isn't another soul-destroying calendar invite. 

Glebe Aboriginal Cultural Walk with Uncle Jimmy Smith 
A guided walk through local Aboriginal history and connection to place. It's an afternoon commitment rather than a lunch break, but the kind of thing that stays with you longer than most meetings. It takes place in Glebe — accessible from the Inner West or CBD if you've got the flexibility. 

South Eveleigh Cultural Walking Tours 
Learn about Country, culture, and place on a guided walk at South Eveleigh. Another one that requires a bit more time but offers genuine insight into the land we work on. Check availability and book ahead.

Whether you catch a film at lunch, join a walk after work, or bring your team together online, there are plenty of ways to move from awareness to action this week.
