The racialised narrative surrounding Covid-19 has sparked a surge in racial abuse targeting People of Colour.Whether it's a new poll finding almost one third of Australians blame the Chinese community for the pandemic. Or a study by the Migrant Worker Justice Initiative revealing a quarter of Australia's international students faced racial abuse during the pandemic. Or an Asian Australian Alliance survey collecting more than 500 stories from People of Colour of coronavirus-related racial abuse within a few months.People of Colour are experiencing a surge of racially motivated attacks. That's why we're launching regular bystander intervention workshops to empower allies to effectively and safely intervene when they see racial abuse.These free three hour interactive online workshops will cover:The types of racial abuse People of Colour are facing in this momentThe positive impact of bystander interventionEvidence-based bystander intervention methodology to safely interrupt racial abuseAnd space to practically roleplay scenarios in a safe environmentParticipants will leave with the tools- strategies and confidence to safely support someone experiencing discrimination.These workshops are free and open to anyone (although we particularly encourage people who identify as allies to attend) so please share with your family- friends & networks. Special thanks to the City of Sydney whose generous support has made these workshops possible.

Many among us find talking about dying and death difficult and confronting. This can leave us feeling isolated- in distress- and unable to support loved ones who are at the end of life or grieving. Dying2Learn is an online course that aims to enable Australians to be more comfortable talking about death and dying and more prepared to engage with issues arising at the end of life. The free course runs from 5 October to 2 November 2020 and is open to everyone in the community.Dying2Learn is designed to enable participants to learn supportively and contribute to discussions.It is run by the CareSearch Project based at Flinders University with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health.Save a spot and find out more.

96 year old Holocaust survivor Lotte Weiss survived Auschwitz- but was the only one of her family to survive. As a young girl she lost everything but managed to go on to live a meaningful life. She has devoted many years as a volunteer at the Sydney Jewish Museum- telling her story to thousands of student and adult visitors.In this online talk- Lotte's sons- Gary and Johnny- will tell us more about her miraculous and heartbreaking story of survival.We will also screen a short film made by Sarita Gold- which profiles Lotte and her daughter in-law and artist Thea Weiss. Thea has produced multimedia artworks inspired by Lotte's story. The short film has won a number of awards and has been selected as a finalist for the Moscow Jewish Film Festival and as a semi-finalist for the Rhodes Film Festival. Yad Vashem has also requested it for their collection to accompany Thea's work- presented to them a few years ago.
