Friday 20 June from 10:30am to 2:30pm

You're warmly invited to our Refugee Week Celebration!

Come and be part of a beautiful, free community event that celebrates the strength, stories, and contributions of refugees in Australia. Everyone is welcome!

We’ll start the day at 10:30am with a feel-good Move for All workout, no equipment needed, just bring your energy and a smile!

At 11:30am, enjoy a Brunch & Sounds session with tasty food and live music.

At 12:30pm, hear an inspiring talk from Oliver, a former refugee from Iraq who is now a lawyer helping others find safety and belonging in Australia. His story is powerful, moving, and full of hope.

At 1:30pm, get ready to move and smile with Dances of the World, a joyful class led by Sophie Bejek, a brilliant Dancefit instructor originally from Syria. It’s uplifting, fun, and a beautiful way to celebrate culture through movement.

Come to one session or stay for them all – it’s free, inclusive, and open to everyone.

Let’s come together to celebrate culture, kindness, and community!

Bookings are essential for catering purposes
