Brisbane, January 15 (MCCQ Newsdesk)
The Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast (MCCGC) recently held an art session for children participating in its Settlement, Humanitarian Settlement Program (HSP), and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) services. This session, part of MCCGC’s school holidays initiative, was led by the Settlement team and aimed to provide an engaging and creative space for kids.
The young participants explored their feelings and experiences through art, creating works inspired by four key themes: “I feel seen, I feel heard, and I feel safe,” “I feel welcome, and I belong,” “Australia looks like this to me,” and freestyle.
The children’s artwork featured beautiful landscapes, depictions of their favourite toys, representations of their home countries, and other imaginative creations. This initiative provided a meaningful outlet for self-expression while fostering a sense of belonging and community for children from diverse backgrounds.
