Don’t miss this unique and inspiring opportunity to be part of a conversation for teachers and parents to work towards reconciliation

SAcommunity aims to provide information that assists to form community connections; in this case, we were contacted by the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) Hills Cancer Support Group to thank the Stirling Community Opportunity Shop and acknowledge an existing relationship between these two organisations that provides a wonderful example of community capacity building.

In South Australia, over 100 organisations will join together during SA Refugee Week (18-24 June) to present over 40 events that centre around UNHCR World Refugee Day on 20th June. The events will celebrate and promote the positive and valuable contribution of refugees to South Australia’s cultural, social and economic development, and encourage understanding, cultural harmony and community engagement.

SAcommunity lists 179 organisations involved in dancing. Dance improves physical and mental health, boosts creativity, mood and is a great social activity assisting you to meet other people. Why not try dancing today? 

Like to dance but don’t have a partner? Perhaps the Australian Traditional and Bush Dance Society (ATBDS) is for you? Find out more from the group.

The SAcommunity team has been inspired to look at some of the business and professional groups, associations and trade unions that operate across South Australia.

Joining these groups can provide opportunities to expand your networks and undertake professional development, they also can provide support for your career and the industry.
