Interweaving Workshops
INTERWEAVING: COEXISTENCE AND RESILIENCE IN AUSTRALIA
The interweaving workshop is focused on social cohesion, women empowerment, cultural diversity, sense of belonging, and inclusion.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop is made up of three sections that complement each other:
1- Conversations with inspiring migrants. Participants have the opportunity to hear directly from one of them on their insights for developing skills and cultural competencies to integrate into Australian life. Latin Stories Australia facilitate an informal dialogic reflection on Australian values, identity and inclusion in Australia’s social and professional life.
2- A fun hands-on workshop to explore cultural, racial and religious diversity. Participants explore the concepts of identity, diversity and sense of belonging in Australia using elements of a Chilean textile technique called Arpillera.
3- An experiential session to talk about isolation, sense of belonging and resilience. We explore practical skills to build resilience in times of crisis. Session run by psychologists or councellors
previous interactions

The pilot project was funded by the Department of Home Affairs Fostering Integration Grants program. The grants support new initiatives by not-for-profit organisations that help migrants better integrate into Australian life through employment and community participation.
