Weaving Three Stories - Workshop 1

Nurturing a sense of belonging, inclusion, and welcoming from First Peoples to strengthen intercultural engagement.

Weaving Three Stories Project is a series of three yarning and weaving workshops led by First Peoples to promote intercultural engagement in changing neighbourhoods like Fisherman’s Bend.

The project aims to create an ongoing sense of belonging and inclusion by sharing stories about the embedded narrative of place, cultivate appreciation of First Peoples' culture and untangle intercultural differences.

The workshop series is hosted in three locations in Fishermans Bend and includes a pop up Indigenous art exhibit, special guest performances including a didgeridoo healing, welcome dance and smoking ceremony. Open to all genders and children over 10 years of age from across Melbourne.
