Let's tackle it together
Your voice matters, your creativity counts and together we achieve big things!
Are you someone who is experiencing challenges? Have you wondered or felt like you are the only one who is experiencing these difficulties? Do you feel that there is more that you can do to support others? If so, this project is perfect for you! We bring our community together in a safe and engaging space to talk about topics we all experience as part of our migration journey. We also want to give you the opportunity to work together with others to create solutions! So let’s tackle it together!

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!
