AMES Australia will feature in the upcoming Global Learning Festival, hosted by Wyndham and Melton Councils along with twenty other learning communities around the world.
The festival aims to bring unity and connection to communities all over the world and to give learners a firsthand experience of the benefits that lifelong learning can bring, particularly during uncertain and challenging times.
AMES features in two of the festival sessions on November 8.
There’s the Werribee Park Food Project session which tells how a historic flower garden has been turned into a vegetable patch to feed disadvantaged families during COVID-19 lockdowns.

AMES also features in Connecting Conversations: English classes during COVID-19.
During the COVID lockdown in Melbourne migrant and refugee conversation classes were delivered online. Students and volunteer tutors decided to make a film about their experiences.
Celebrated Iranian documentary filmmaker Ms Mozhgan Pazooki, a regular participant in the classes, captured the positive impact of the online sessions on her classmates, their tutors and herself.
