Dinka language video on Covid-19 – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Lem Baguot – Throughout the pandemic, many seniors from migrant and refugee communities have become isolated to protect themselves against COVID-19. That’s why Lem made sure to become an advocate for vaccination, helping his community recover and come together. .

“Protecting Our Communities” is a 15-language video series produced by the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria to help combat ongoing vaccine hesitancy, and promote living safely with COVID-19 to seniors from migrant and refugee communities. In this video, we introduce Lem Baguot who is speaking in Dinka.

The videos feature inspiring leaders and trusted voices from our diverse migrant and refugee communities, talking about their vaccination journey, and how they were able to overcome misinformation and hesitancy and play an important role informing, supporting and protecting seniors in their communities.

The videos are a useful tool to engage with seniors, their families and their communities about the benefits of vaccination and the importance of continuing to practice safe behaviours as we adjust to living with COVID-19.
