From the Human Rights commission:
What does the 'Spirit of Reconciliation' mean to you?
What does the 'Spirit of Reconciliation' look like in your school or community or throughout Australia? That's the question the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission is inviting secondary school students across Australia to show us by entering our national poster competition.
We're asking students to get creative with any arty materials they can get their hands on - pencils, paint, textas, crayons, photography, computer graphics etc. to create a poster that captures the spirit of what reconciliation looks like to them.
There are great prizes up for grabs for the students' winning entries and their schools - including the latest hi-tech digital cameras, CDs and book vouchers. Prizes will be awarded to the winners and their schools and the two runners-up in the two categories - secondary (Years 7-10) and Higher Secondary (Years 11-12).
To help students understand more about reconciliation and the issues facing Indigenous Australians, the Commission has put together some resources and useful links to get them thinking, talking, debating and asking questions on the issue.
Students or teachers can download the 'Spirit of Reconciliation' Poster Competition entry form and the teacher resources and links from: www.humanrights.gov.au/postercomp
Entries close 26 November 2004.
