The Waterhole Exercise is based on the Canadian Blanket Exercise that was developed by Kairos Canada, representing seven churches from across the country. KAIROS describes their Blanket Exercise as “a participatory history lesson developed in collaboration with Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators that foster truth, understanding, respect and reconciliation among Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples”.  EREA is deeply grateful for the generosity and support of KAIROS and their commitment to the truth telling, justice and healing journeys of reconciliation, which has now been extended to the Australian context.
