In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, Dixie Crawford emphasises the necessity of year-round commitment to reconciliation rather than performative actions limited to National Reconciliation Week. She discusses the importance of embedding reconciliation into the core values and operations of organisations, highlighting that true leadership in reconciliation is measured by consistency and genuine engagement with First Nations communities. Practical steps are provided for organisations to audit their reconciliation efforts and ensure ongoing action, ultimately calling for a shift from performative gestures to meaningful, sustained commitment.

Takeaways
No one cares about your Reconciliation Week event if you don't care about reconciliation year round.
Reconciliation isn't a campaign, it's a commitment.
Events without year-round action damage trust, not build it.
Reconciliation Week should showcase your ongoing work, not cover up its absence.
Real leaders in reconciliation aren't louder. They're more consistent.
Audit your reconciliation activity across the whole year.
Treat Reconciliation Week as a reporting point, not a starting point.
Build a 12-month RAP activation calendar.
Trust is built in the boring months.
Reconciliation isn't an event; it's a way of leading.
