IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU’TH

More than 100 young people and community members attended the second Community Cultural Connections event at the Maclean Showground Main Pavilion in January.

We partnered with the Mudyala Aboriginal Corporation and several local youth services to host the event. Bulgarr Aboriginal Medical Service provided a wonderful BBQ and One Mob Radio lent their support.

A variety of activities were offered such as wood burning, weaving, clay work and jewellery making.

CEO, Aneika Kapeen, said she was pleased to have cultural activities like this happening more often, after the success of Close the Gap Day and NAIDOC celebrations.

The first Community Cultural Connections event was held in Yamba during the October 2022 school holidays.

The next event, ‘Beats, BBQ and Basketball’, will take place at JJ Lawrence Fields in South Grafton during Youth Week on Friday 21 April from 10am to 3pm.
