Earlier this month Maribyrnong council decided to seek feedback on its first Intercultural Strategy, which council said is designed to build a culturally rich roadmap for the municipality for the future.
Council said the draft strategy seeks to build on those overseas cultures shared by residents.
The draft Intercultural Maribyrnong Strategy 2023/2026 outlines the guiding principles, key themes, objectives, and proposed actions to support its implementation, the community can now view the draft and discover ways to share comments.
Council said it is important for our community to feel empowered, able to express and share their cultures, and to see themselves reflected in society.
According to council , Interculturalism is the next logical step to ensure everyone creates environments that support equality, diversity, and interaction between cultures.
Council said it is now calling on the community to share their ideas on how to bring the proposed actions to life.
The community can attend the in-person events on Saturday, September 23, from 2.30-3.30pm at Footscray Library, Tuesday, September 26, from 4-5:30pm at Maribyrnong Library, Wednesday, September 27, from 12.30-2pm at Footscray Market, Wednesday, October 4, from 9-11.30am at Maidstone Community Centre, Thursday, October 5, from 11:30am-12:40pm at Braybrook Community Hub and Friday, October 6, from 12:30-2pm at Footscray Library.
