Cultural Exchange

The Cultural Exchange (CE) program hosts 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, Lavington and Wodonga libraries and Community Centres.

Programs that run under CE are:

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

Tertiary Tips – provides one on one support to CALD students studying at TAFE or university. 

Conversations in English – provides CALD participants the opportunity to practice their English one on one with a volunteer.

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

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.

Fitness Class – Multicultural Exercise program fosters health and wellbeing through gentle stretching and strength exercises.
