“A moment comes when it is not possible to exist without being subject to the radical and deep tension between good and bad, between dignity and indignity, between decency and shamelessness, between the beauty and ugliness of the world. This means that it is not possible to exist without us assuming our right or duty to choose, to decide, to do politics,” (Freire, 2008:51).

Are you 18-24 year old or know of someone who might be interested in this leadership development program with the @multiculturevic?

The Multicultural Communities Leadership in Action Program builds the capability of multicultural and multifaith community leaders to engage effectively with the government and their own communities. It provides leaders with the tools and information to more effectively mobilise their communities, which is especially important in times of crisis and emergency; such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Developed and delivered using a genuine co-design approach with community, the Program runs dedicated streams for women and young people, as well as a generalist stream. Participants complete two, half-day sessions, and are invited to a graduation event where they can build on their new network of hundreds of fellow participants and government stakeholders.

Always a pleasure to support and work alongside this legend and friend, @parsu2017 👊🏼 Honoured to be part of the Marchang Ceremony (ceremonial offering to deities with a special prayer) followed by a contemporary offering of song and dance to celebrate the National Day of Bhutan 🇧🇹 at this elegant gala dinner. Love being dressed in a gho or g'ô (Dzongkha), the national dress for men in Bhutan which, although it doesn’t look it, is worn as tightly as a corset, but it still fails to slow down my eating 😝! #garyleecious #gho
