HEY HISTORY - WALK FOR TRUTH-TELLING PODCAST
Our Year 3 and 4 were part of the Walk for Truth walk and the podcast!!
Have you ever told the truth but it felt like no one listened? This special bonus episode is all about truth-telling.
Hey History! follows Travis Lovett, a proud Gunditjmara/Kerrupmara man and Commissioner at the Yoorrook Justice Commission, on a 400km 'Walk for Truth' across Victoria.
Who is Travis Lovett, and why is he going on a really, really long walk?
What is the Yoorrook Justice Commission?
What is 'truth-telling' and how can it happen with history?
Host Axel Clark and students from St Patrick’s Primary School join Travis on his Walk for Truth through Port Fairy.
Hear:
Why telling the truth is important—at school, at home, and in Australian history.
How 'history' isn’t fixed. Do we know the whole story? Is there another side to the story?
What is a 'commission'?
Personal testimony from the Yoorrook Justice Commission, including Aunty Nellie Flagg and the Premier of Victoria.
How the Yoorrook Justice Commission has gathered stories and evidence over four years, and what happens next.
