During times of crisis, community resilience is put to its greatest test, and history has shown that diverse communities are more resilient than mono-cultural communities. 

This anthology podcast series showcases real stories of how multicultural communities in Melbourne are supporting each other throughout tough times such as the coronavirus pandemic.

This project will build the capacity of communities to engage in constructive dialogue with the media as a means of addressing local challenges and create another pathway into media for culturally and linguistically diverse journalists and media makers.
