Locals celebrate culture, share experiences during Refugee Week.

An inspiring celebration of cultures and a confronting simulation of the refugee journey were among the local activities held to mark Refugee Week in June.

🙌SWSPHN Integration and Priority Populations Coordinator Navnita Chetty was in Fairfield for both activities.

Navnita attended:
🔹 the Refugee Week Festival at Fairfield Youth Centre where cultural performances included Afghan dancers, Chilean dancers, Cambodian musicians and Lebanese drummers. In a region where 2,300 refugees settle every year, it was also a chance to hear first-hand of the many refugee success stories.

🔹 the Refugee Camp in My Hospital at Fairfield Hospital. The tours are designed to give health professionals a small insight into the refugee experience and the healthcare challenges they face moving to Australia.
