Weaving Three Stories Project is a series of yarning and weaving workshops led by First Peoples to promote intercultural engagement in Fisherman’s Bend. Responding to the need to build community connection while the precinct is under transition, the project aims to create an ongoing sense of belonging, inclusion and welcoming from First Peoples.
The project brings local First Nations educators together to weave stories about the embedded narrative of place and invites the broader community to learn stories of common connection that can untangle intercultural differences and build a more meaningful appreciation of First Peoples culture. It is a collaboration between Bianca Easton & Sarah Naarden, and builds on their work in Healing & Reconciliation events across Melbourne.
Open to all genders and children 10+, the workshops invite the broader community to engage in meaningful intercultural dialogue.
