Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan 2024-2026
The University's vision for reconciliation is to be a place that facilitates learning and that respects cultures and diversity - a place where both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people come together to engage with their chosen discipline, contextualised by an understanding of our shared history. ANU will make an important contribution to reconciliation by furthering learning, research, services and public knowledge in relation to Indigenous issues.
The ANU Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan January 2024-2026 is testament to the University's conviction that it must contribute to righting the wrongs of the past. It recognises that the future has to be founded on relationships of mutual respect and meaningful partnership between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Â鶹´«Ã½AVs - a future where cultures, connection to Country, and world views are treated with respect. ANU takes up its obligation to acknowledge, understand and contribute to rectifying deep historical wrongs very seriously and very willingly.
The ANU will implement our Innovate RAP over the next two years to deliver on our commitments. Education will be crucial in building a shared understanding and commitment to realising the plan.
ANU will make a significant contribution to improving higher education and employment outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and enable them to realise their potential and aspirations. Our partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will provide the University with the opportunity to listen and learn about their past, their current circumstances and their vision for the future. ANU is where their cultures are both respected and celebrated.
