    Locked Down, Speaking Up! Cooking as Community Care with Ashvina

    Growing up in Melbourne’s multicultural south-east, Ashvina De Zoysa (she/her) just assumed that would mean the area had support services tailored to CALD people. As she got older she realised this wasn’t the case, so when COVID hit she knew she wanted to do something to support her community. Fast forward to now and Ashvina has provided several meals to her local CALD community through her initiative COOK4CALD. Ashvina shares her advice if you want to start something similar, and why supporting the community where you grew up just hits different.   Read this episode’s transcript.   - - -   Mentioned in this episode: COOK4CALD: Cook4CALD.org   - - -   Want regular opportunities + support to make change in your community?

    Locked Down, Speaking Up! Empowering young people in sport with Louis

    Young people regularly make up the majority of regional and rural sports clubs, yet often aren’t included in any of the decision-making. So 16-year-old athlete Louis Janssen (she/he/they) decided to join their local club’s committee, leading her to create a junior committee for young representatives too. Louis shares how often for young athletes it’s not that they’re actively excluded from leadership, adults just don’t even consider that they’d be interested – and how to change that in your own club.   Read this episode’s transcript.   - - -   Mentioned in this episode: Louis’ experience with RSV and YACs: YACVic.org.au/green-flags   - - -   Want regular opportunities + support to make change in your community?
