WE NEED TUTORS!
If you are interested in becoming a tutor or would like to know more
about what we do, you can find out more about the refugee tutoring
program here.
We hold information nights every 8 weeks for new tutors. Visit the Upcoming Events page for the next information session.
The Refugee+Art program is a new program designed to enhance the
confidence, self-esteem and language skills of the participants.
The
program provides short series of free art classes for members of the
refugee community in a variety of disciplines, including painting,
puppet-making, kite-making and drawing cartoons. Classes are conducted
by experienced artists and usually involve a central theme for the
series of classes, such as hope, family or courage.
Classes
are conducted in English and allow for the participants to enhance
their English language skills through story telling and group sharing,
as well as make new friends within the refugee community. Parents are
encouraged to socialise during the sessions.
The first series of
art classes will involve a small group of 8-14 year olds, who together
will design and paint a local traffic signal box in the
Annerley/Yeronga area. The box will not only provide the participants
with an accomplishment that shares their stories more widely, but will
provide an enduring reminder of the valued place that refugees hold in
the wider Brisbane community.
