Celebrating Reconciliation Week at International Towers
As we celebrate National Reconciliation Week 2020: 27 May to 3 June, for the very first time, International Towers will be lit up in the colours of the Aboriginal Flag from this weekend.
This year's theme for National Reconciliation week – In this together – which now resonates in ways that could not have been foreseen when announced last year. It reminds us whether in a crisis or in reconciliation we are all #InThisTogether.
Given social distancing, we are not holding an event this year, but we will be shining bright, with Towers 2 and 3 lit in the colours of the Aboriginal Flag.
Yellow – which represents the Sun, the giver of life and protector.
Red – which represents the red earth.
Black - the unlit towers will represent the Indigenous people of Australia.
Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.
