Human Living Library: People can ‘borrow’ people serving as an opening book and have conversations they would not normally have access to. In the modern life, because of people are often facing difference, they need to find ways to engage with differences to help them create positive outcomes. People have chance to meet the people they do not normally meet and speak the topic they do not have chance to talk about. They can “read” another person – a Human Book - to gain greater understanding, in order to increase or diverse the difference to positive outcomes. 

Mental Health Month: Mental health month is celebrated each year in the month of October in NSW. It gives us an opportunity to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing through a broad campaign and community events.

                                  Refreshments** will be provided on the day.

This event is only available for the first 50 people to RSVP.
