From the Heart Schools Kit
Social Justice Learning resource for Vinnies School Students
The St Vincent de Paul Society NSW has developed this learning resource for two reasons:
-
- Vinnies NSW accepts the Uluru Statement from the Heart’s invitation and is proud to support its calls for a National Voice to Parliament
- The Uluru Statement From the Heart is a social justice campaign. Secondary School students may increase their social justice awareness by learning about this historic campaign and putting their awareness into action.
This educational resource has been put together for secondary students who are affiliated with the Vinnies through their High School Conference work or Social Justice groups.
This resource is free and available for anyone to use.
We recommended visiting the Uluru Statement From the Heart campaign website for further education and as the main source of truth.
