Walking Together: Cultivating Trust, Connection, and Unity in Western Sydney

Join us for a conversation with Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman and respondent Prof Ruth Powell as we explore how to bridge divides and nurture social cohesion across Western Sydney. In a time marked by growing social polarisation, many in our community are searching for practical ways to foster positive, enduring relationships across racial, religious, and cultural lines. Inspired by the inclusive spirit of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Seen and Heard initiative, this event focuses on how we truly see, understand, and value one another. As a community called to walk alongside one another with empathy and grace, let us gather across faith traditions to move past division, rebuild trust, and grow a cohesive future rooted in peace, shared humanity, and dignity. Parking available. Light refreshments from 6 pm 10-minute walk from Blacktown Train Station.
