Intercultural Tas Group report Feb 2025

=== Intercultural Task Group multicultural Christmas event. ==

There were about 200 people at the performances with the mayor in attendance and a few representing the different intercultural groups within Monash.
The bulk of the $5,000 grant from Monash went towards the performance fee of the 4 groups with the First Peoples Didgeridoo costing $1,900.
The lunch was well attended with over 120 people. The Indonesian cuisine was well received. There was more than enough to go round.
The display in Room 1 was there from 7th to 25th December. We were privileged to have Aunty Norma from the First Peoples lending us her display of possum coat and the history of weaving.
Overall it was a well received event.

Vida reports: We had a good time of fellowship and learning from each other about our traditional food and routines.

I believe the highlight was the loh hei (see picture).
