Today is International Mother Language Day 🌏

A day to recognise the power of language, identity and culture, and to celebrate the many mother tongues that shape our communities.

At Opendoor, we see every day how language can be both a bridge and a barrier. For people from non-English speaking backgrounds, learning English is not about leaving their first language behind. It’s about gaining confidence, access and opportunity, while honouring where they come from.

That’s why our English Language and Literacy programs exist. From Certificate I, II and III in English as an Additional Language, to General Education for Adults, our courses are designed to support people at every stage of their learning journey. Whether it’s everyday communication, workplace language or building foundations for further training and employment.

Language opens doors. And when people feel supported, understood and included, they can step into education, work and community with confidence.

Today we celebrate the languages that connect us, and the learning that helps communities grow stronger together. 💚

How a simple idea became a legacy of inclusion 🔨✨

An inclusive and collaborative project has brought positive change to local community gardens. Participants on the Work for the Dole program teamed up with Glen Park Community Centre and Yarra Ranges Council to design and build accessible outdoor furniture and raised garden beds for the whole community to enjoy.

Throughout the program, participants were able to express creativity while gaining confidence and connections. They finished the project with real skills, pride, and the reward of their meaningful contributions.

Opendoor Broadmeadows hosted an energising G2 Connect session this week, with 20 young people taking real steps forward in their job search. The group reset their approach, reviewed realistic goals, and mapped out clear next steps toward work.

They unpacked what may be blocking applications, explored the ABC approach to work, and used AI tools to strengthen resumes and confidence. Conversations quickly turned into action once live vacancies were shared, with strong engagement and pre screens booked on the spot.

The room was full of energy, honesty and momentum. Young people left focused, motivated and clearer about where they are heading next.

Great work by the Broadmeadows Transition to Work team supporting young people to take ownership of their future.

This project was created in partnership with Opendoor and Glen Park Community Centre, bringing people together to build something that genuinely gives back.

Through a supported Work for the Dole program, participants worked on crafting accessible furniture and raised garden beds for community gardens across Yarra Ranges Council. Designed with wheelchair access in mind, these spaces are about inclusion, dignity, and making sure everyone can take part.

More than furniture, this project created purpose, connection, and a place to belong. When the right people come together with a shared vision, the impact reaches far beyond the day’s work.
Because a healthy, connected community starts with making space for everyone💚
