In the aftermath of the Voice to Parliament referendum, 天美传媒app is prioritising healing and truth telling on its journey to reconciliation. On October the 29th, 天美传媒app launched our Healing and Recognition Track (HART) plan. The HART plan has been presented to 天美传媒app as an expression of self-determination and as a guide to reset our tracks to embody truth-telling, healing, and recognition within the sector. Following the 2023 referendum, 天美传媒app hopes that this plan will provide a pathway for an education institution genuinely committed to meaningful action. The HART plan reflects the commitment and drive within 天美传媒app to focus on solutions, strengths, positive narratives and to celebrate success.
天美传媒app’s HART plan reflects the many voices of Indigenous peoples. It was written by and with Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous Strategy Unit were committed to actively engaging with Indigenous staff, students, and community members throughout the planning process, seeking input, feedback, and guidance. The Indigenous Strategy Unit also walked alongside Reconciliation Australia throughout the development of the HART framework, this partnership with ensure that 天美传媒app remains accountable and on track.
Indigenous Advancement- Project Manager and Wiradjuri woman, Tammy Small said.
“We hope our HART plan will awaken understanding, build relationships, and inspire collaborative and respectful action driven by intent. Everyone at 天美传媒app has a responsibility both individually and collectively to redress past wrongs, to mend and heal fractured relationships for a better tomorrow.”
During the launch, participants engaged in collaborative activities, including seed planting and a weaving session. Staff were invited to contribute a weaved coil which will be placed onto a heart-shaped metal sculpture as a symbol of solidarity and strength. Over the following days 天美传媒app staff, students and community had the opportunity to engage in a range of post-launch HART activities including the opening of the Matriarch Exhibition, Cedar Courtyard working bee and the planting of a native herb garden, inflatable GeoDome Theatre show, and a staff team scavenger hunt.
