Community Consultation Invitation – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

The Melbourne Social Equity Institute invites you to join as they share progress on the development of the African Research and Engagement in Australia Initiative (AREiA).

Hosted by the Melbourne Social Equity Institute at the University of Melbourne, AREiA will facilitate an interdisciplinary, community-driven and solutions orientated approach to the health, cultural, social, economic and political wellbeing of African Australian communities.

Officially launching in December, AREiA will enable collaborative research and knowledge exchange in support of African Australian communities, and the insights generated from AREiA programs and projects will be utilised by policy and decision-makers, business and community agencies and the broader Australian community.

During this session, we’ll invite your feedback and input on AREiA’s community research priorities.

Date: Friday 19 November 2021
Time: 5.00pm – 6.30pm
Format: Online via Zoom

Please RSVP by sending an email to are-ia@unimelb.edu.au by Thursday 18 November 2021.
