Project Summary:

Community conversation sessions will focus on building cross-cultural understanding and breaking down distrust between recently arrived African communities and the majority community in south-west Brisbane. The community conversations will build relationships between African people and long-term residents. From these sessions voluntary working groups, reflecting the community mix, will be recruited and supported to become self-directed in working to promote ongoing positive community relations.

About the Organisation:

This project will be delivered by Anglicare Refugee & Migrant Services (ARMS). ARMS was established in 1982 to assist individuals and families from refugee and migrant backgrounds to become productive and participating members of the community.
