LEADAA stands for leadership, education, advancement and development for Asian Australians. A not for profit organisation with aim to expand leadership opportunities for Asian-Australians through dialogues, discussions and engagements. We also initiate events and dialogues about cultural diversity to provoke new thinking and insights on what it means and how it is expressed in Australia.
Beyond Story is a business with a social purpose – an employer and supporter of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants. We are dedicated towards promoting social harmony and creating transformative cultural experiences that connects people, deeply and authentically, no matter where you come from.
Beyond Story run creative workshops as a platform to bring people from all cultures together through experiencing cultural arts. Beyond Story workshops allow you to witness the cultural arts form, hear the stories behind the arts and make the arts together. We believe focusing on our differences is easy and divisive, leveraging what we have in common is harder, but will effect positive change for all.
This event is supported by the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
