Creating Space  – CALD Youth

By Charlene Delos Santos

As a second generation Filipino-Australian, I find very few spaces where I can feel ‘at home’. I have often times felt like an outsider when I attend different Christian events or churches because I find myself in the minority. 

 

 

My need to find and create spaces for other minority groups and other culturally diverse emerging leaders is the reason why I am part of the planning team for the Ignite Multicultural Youth and Young Adults conference. 

 The Ignite Conference is on the 4th and 5th July, with a focus on providing a space for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) young people from across Melbourne to meet each other and develop in their faith journey whilst celebrating their cultural heritage. 

My hope is that these conferences will ignite networks, connections and leadership and ministry opportunities for CALD youth and young adults. 

Hope to see you there!
