Schools around the country can apply for grants of up to $500 to teach students about the impact of the Stolen Generations on Australia.

The Healing Foundation Chair Professor Steve Larkin says the grants would support schools to engage students in meaningful truth telling activities about Australia’s past.

“We all share the same past, and understanding our common history and rewriting the story in a safe way means that together we take some of the stigma out of the narrative,” Larkin says.
