The Empowering Migrants Expo scheduled for August 4 is now mere weeks away, and the excitement is tangible. Brisbane is excitedly waiting for this event since it is expected to be one of the most memorable events. But why will this Expo be such a success? So let us see what is there for us out there.
First off, the expectations are high owing to the fact that the event is going to be phenomenal. Think about going to a meeting and hearing over 30 different voices, sights, sounds and smells within the building that is Brisbane City Hall. This is not just a show; this is the dynamic fabric of human experience. You will be able to see the actual lifestyles of Native Americans and the glamorous celebrations of ethnical groups from different parts of the world. It is a unique possibility to walk through the whole world albeit in a miniature form.
Every member of the Bhartiya Samaj has dedicated their time and effort in the organization of this event. They have been working with several organizations in the community to pay attention to all the details. There is a considerable amount of preparation and organization that takes place out of the limelight. It has been noticed that volunteers have been putting a lot of effort into ensuring the smoothness of the day, and the good feelings of all the attendees.
Yet another reason that will see this Expo as being popular is that such social activities are quite significant since they are entertaining and at the same time help in uniting people. For those persons who have just arrived in Australia, or, the other side, those who have been living here for a long time, there’s something for every person interested in different cultures. It is a good opportunity to establish new acquaintances, to meet people, to tell and to listen to the stories, and to create the friendly long-term relationships. In addition, people of all origins can feel comfortable and without prejudice, that is why everyone can feel at home.
There is also the factor of learning. If there is something that has to be made amply clear about the Expo is the fact that it is not meant to be mere fun and frolic. Different sessions will include useful knowledge concerning a set of issues that can be interesting to the migrants within the sphere of migration, job search, laws, and a host of others. This knowledge has the potential of being a real help for the newcomers who struggle to orientate themselves in a new country. And for those, who have been here longer – it would be an opportunity to realize more about the variety of the community they are a part of.
Also, it is common knowledge that somewhere the tongue is mightier than the sword and what better way to stress this than through food? Therefore, at the Empowering Migrants Expo, one will be able to taste a medley of meals. Thus, every individual dish has a back story and gives the meals a taste of the culture that it represents. Whether the food that is being cherished is Indian curry, Japanese sushi, Greek sweets or any other kind of food, they have a correct treat waiting for them.
Finally, the Empowering Migrants Expo is all about celebration. It is a festival of the marvellous input that the migrants bring to our society. It is all about understanding the power, endurance and even innovative element of the diversity. It becomes a day to celebrate the migration experiences that have led people to this place, and the colourful traditions they have brought with them.
So, mark your calendars for August 4. The Bhartiya Samaj’s Empowering Migrants Expo is set to be an event for the ages, and you won’t want to miss it.
