Workshop Focus: Beyond Reconciliation Action Plans
The SDGs present both opportunities and risks for First Nations peoples. Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs)have become an effective tool to build relationships between the private sector, not for profit, civil society and First Nations peoples. However, of the 1100 organisations with a RAP, 85% sit at Innovate or Reflect. These workshops will look at what the principles are for creating effective partnerships to ensure organisations protect and promote the unique rights of First Nations peoples within Australia and how approaching RAPs from a human rights perspective can accelerate genuine, mutually beneficial and enduring partnerships.
