About the project
FIRST STAGE:
We hosted 3 different face to face sessions to community members in Spanish in the City of Melbourne in which we explored various but interconected topics using engaging activities and hosting a space for reflection. All the sessions are delivered by experts.
Dates and topics
20 July 2024: My identity and the city I live in.
27 July 2024: Isolation, migration grief and resilience.
3 August 2024: Me as part of a multicultural community.
SECOND STAGE:
During the first stage we identified the needs of the community and co-create solutions. Four extra sessions were designed based on the identified needs of the community.
*Each session would have an approximately cost of $150 per person, but given the support of the City of Melbourne the sessions are free for the community. However, we are asking for a $5 fee to make sure those who register attend and to plan the activities, refreshment and materials. However, if you are in a difficult situation please let us know and we will reimburse you on the day of the sessions.
We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to participate!
