Hello Neighbour

The Hello Neighbour program was aimed at promoting and building connected communities across the City of Monash. A key feature of the project was the Monash Community Ambassadors. This initiative provided a unique opportunity for culturally and linguistically diverse community members to advise Council and influence project directions.

The Community Ambassadors helped:

• mobilise their networks to reach the broader community,
• create stronger cross-cultural connections, and
• share their culturally diverse perspectives and experiences to support mainstream groups.

Some of the key initiatives delivered include:

• ‘Longing for Home’ Textile Art project
• We Stand Together as One Community ‘Say No to Racism’ forums
• Resilience Against Racism workshop series
• Cultural Awareness and Bystander Intervention training
• Places of Worship Open Day
• Monash Youth Interfaith Panel Discussion
• Flavours of Monash cookbook.
