This is the second year they had the camp and they hope to continue to have this great experience in future years!

09.01.2022 The Creating an Inclusive Narrative publication, which has been the culmination of 50 nationwide roundtables held over the past year, is now available! It capt...ures the insights and experiences distilled from hundreds of roundtable participants, representing the diverse voices of communities and groups that convey the vision, hopes and aspirations of Australians to foster a socially cohesive society. When we are in a socially cohesive society, our engagements are more about transformation. When we are notour engagements are purely transactional. So, we want to be able to go from being transactional to transformational. This is a gift from the Australian Baha’i Community to the Australian society. It is the sincere hope of those involved in this consultative process that its findings and content are helpful and applicable in every neighbourhood, community, organisation, institution and in government.
