Cultural Exchange

The Cultural Exchange (CE) is a program with a broad range of activities and information sharing. It initiates, supports and manages activities and events that have mutual benefit for new community members from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds, their cultural groups and the wider Albury Wodonga community. The project is supported by a network of community volunteers and program activities are based at Albury and Lavington libraries and Community Centres.

Programs that run under CE are:

Coffee & Cards – meeting in a library with the participants for social interactions such as having a chat, playing card games.

Conversations in English – a program giving migrant students studying English, the opportunity to practice with a community volunteer.

Homework Help – provides mentors to support CALD students with reading, writing and homework tasks assigned by their teachers.

Multicultural Community Lunches – provides a diverse range of affordable meals in various cultural themes. Held on the third Thursday of the month at Mirambeena Community Centre.
