Balla Balla celebrates inclusion

Balla Balla Community Centre in Clyde North celebrated International Women’s Day by inviting women to open up on what made them feel included.

Celebrated on Friday 8 March, the centre held activities focused on arts and crafts, with educational workshops aiming at providing resources and opportunities to advocate for an inclusive community.

One of the centre’s playgroup mums who attended the event, Maure, said that “where there is woman, there is magic”.

Residents were invited to write down on a heart-shaped piece of paper what made them feel included, which was then displayed to form a collection of letters on one of the centre’s walls.

The event began at 10:30am and finished at 12:30pm, with morning tea provided for those who attended.
