FTF Project Aims
Acknowledging the
truth of our joint history, understanding and accepting the
impact of that history on Indigenous people and honouring
Indigenous culture is seen as critical to any movement towards
mutual and genuine Reconciliation.
The FTF project seeks to start the process of fulfilling this vision, through four key aims.

FTF Projects
The FTF project workers initiated or were involved with over __ individual projects. This is an incredible acheivement, given the time and energy involved in making each project happen and fulfill the overall project aims.
To demonstrate ANTaR's involvement in each project, we have used the categories developed by the evaluators to class each of the projects — initiating work, collaborative work, resourcing work and coordinating / sustaining work.

Volunteer Support
The FTF project was supported by over 300 volunteers, who all gave generously of their time and energy to the project.
Voluntary contribution often goes without recognition or reward, yet it would be impossible to undertake this kind of work without them!

Evaluation
Evaluating the project activity and seeing the impact of each project is seen as essential to ANTaR's work and external evaluators were brought in to evaluate the project.
The model of evaluation used was Participatory Action Research, to ensure that the evaluation will be conducted in partnership with those most involved with each project, including stakeholders not actually involved in the delivery, in particular, Indigenous people.
