Living in Harmony Community Projects 2007

VIC

Organisation: Drummond Street Relationship Centre
Project Name: Common Ground
Suburb: Carlton
State: Victoria
Amount: $50,000
Project Summary: The project will use existing social/activity groups within both the African and non African communities for dialogue and relationship building.

In particular, the project will target sections of the non-African community who have long standing personal experiences of migration and resettlement, such as the Italian and Greek communities. It is expected that the sharing of personal experiences and strategies for resettlement may support and facilitate shared understanding and the capacity for integration. The participants will share and create a vision of how they want their life to look, what they want for their future, and how they want Australia to be, and participate in arts based project activities. Young people will be involved in videoing, documenting and disseminating the dialogue and outcomes of the group activities via a range of media.
