The Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) would like to invite you to a public lecture:
Multicultural or mainstream? A new conversation about multiculturalism in Victoria

Date: Thursday 26 November 2015
Time: 6pm - 8pm


Location: Drill Hall, Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St, Melbourne VIC


Join the recently appointed Chairperson Helen Kapalos for the Victorian Multicultural Commission’s first public lecture. Drawing on her own experiences in and out of the media spotlight, Helen brings a fresh perspective to an ongoing narrative about what multiculturalism stands for in contemporary Australia. She invites all Victorians to take part in a public discourse which explores and challenges the modern day definition and currency of the term. In sharing the Commission's new strategic direction, Helen will discuss why now more than ever, it is important for Victorian society to be cohesive and inclusive and why we are all part of the solution.

Free entry.
