Our Common Future is a two day national event held in both Sydney and Melbourne.
We will explore, strategise and co-create a new kind of common future that centres multicultural people at the heart of social, economic and environmental policy.
First Nations, Pasifika, People of Colour and CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) people across Australia are invited to attend. Travel, accommodation and financial support is available.
Join us for a game-changing gathering of thought leaders, advocates, and changemakers as we tackle the defining challenges and opportunities of our time.
