Community Voices

"Making it happen: a community where everyone, regardless of background or disability, feels welcome, included and supported."

Community Voices are people from a non-English speaking background (NESB) with disability and their families and friends who are trained in public speaking and who are willing to share their stories. The Project uses the skills and expertise of these Community Voices to educate and raise awareness about the diversity of the community.

The experiences of the Community Voices will provide a starting point for discussion. This discussion will assist your organisation's understanding of some of the broader issues faced by people of minority communities, including:

• Access and equity issues
• Attitudinal barriers
• The benefits of diversity

Through this experience Community Voices encourage members and staff of your organisation to think about things they can do to support diversity and improve community harmony.
