SUMMARY:Stretton Centre - Strategic Marketing for Small Business Growth

SUMMARY:Reconciliation Australia - National Reconciliation Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:All In for National Reconciliation Week 2026\n  \nThe theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In\, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. \nAll In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change. \nThe theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity\, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people\, who have carried the weight of championing\, explaining and acting for far too long. \nReconciliation will not happen by itself\, and it will not happen without all of us. \nThe #NRW2026 campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative\, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency. \nThe artwork for this campaign is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey\, who applied his distinctive style to create a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.
