Multicultural Australia in partnership with QPAC is excited to be hosting Changing the Conversation: Creating Belonging Through Storytelling, the final event in a new series of thought-provoking discussions exploring key issues in our increasingly multicultural society. On Thursday November 16, facilitated by Benjamin Law, and featuring a panel of experts, this discussion will explore how we share and tell stories, and how our stories shape us as a nation, as a community and as individuals.

We recognise the power and importance of storytelling and that it is a particularly powerful tool for marginalised and stigmatised groups. Storytelling can be beneficial for the person sharing their experience, for their community and for society. Sharing personal stories is a powerful way of generating empathy, understanding and solidarity as well as challenging bias, assumptions, and prejudice, and driving commitment to and understanding of opportunities for human rights-based reform.

The event runs from 6:30–8:00 pm and tickets are $25 – purchase yours at the QPAC website.
