This will be an opportunity for voices to be heard with the intention to carry on the energies of the night forward into real programs being created alongside committed, diverse, and invested young members of the community.

02.01.2022 Our Stronger Together exhibition for Welcoming Australia launches in exactly 2 weeks time on the 25th September! Come to Sparkke at the Whitmore to witness a se...ries of stories of young leaders from diverse backgrounds who are part of the Welcoming Futures Program, a project which brings young people from diverse communities together in light of developing cohesion, understanding and knowledge. Come from the 25th September to learn about stories such as Sophias. . . . As an individual, I see myself as a citizen of the world because although I introduce myself as Congolese, I have little knowledge of how the place looks or feels. I was born in Congo, but raised elsewhere. The place I once called home (the Camp) does not exist anymore and all my precious childhood memories of the place are with me, but I cannot visit the place even if I wanted to. And of course, I have spent most of my life here in South Australia but I still miss home. Therefore, I cannot exclude either one of the places I have lived because that would mean erasing the memories I have of the place; which is impossible. Living in Australia means a lot to me. I am extremely grateful for what this beautiful country has done for me. Not only has it provided a home for me, this country with all the opportunities that came with it has enabled me a chance to grow into an independent woman. It is just sad how it came to be that I live in this place that I now love, because I was displaced from my birth country without consent.

02.01.2022 We have the best teachers! Simone Douglas from Social Media AOK sent participants out to the garden to work on campaign messaging and use their phones to film.

02.01.2022 We have the best teachers! Joel, from Click Films, is following Welcoming Futures this year to document the outcomes of the many ideas and projects the participants are involved in and creating.
