TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS

Just a quick reminder about the Harmony Day film @ Port Library, in Grant St.
When: Thursday 23rd March, from 5.30pm for a 6pm start til 8pm.
Cost: FREE

Also save the date (Friday April 21, 2017) for The Bridge Project - a new musical collective that expands upon the idea of the musical bridge, bringing together seemingly disparate cultures and personalities to create a singular, cohesive unit. Comprised of a Turkish Muslim, an Australian Christian, and an Israeli Jew, The Bridge Project does more than cross a chasm; The Bridge Project eliminates it entirely.

* Constance on the Edge

One family. Two wars. Three countries. What does it take to forge a new life far from home?
Filmed over 10 years, Constance on the Edge is an unflinchingly honest portrayal of one refugee family’s resettlement story in Wagga Wagga, Australia.
Constance on the Edge gets to the heart of a contemporary untold story about the courage and resilience it takes to build new lives. The film also highlights the important role communities play in encouraging a sense of belonging and enabling participation for everyone.
