South Asian Community Link Group (SACLG) is organising  seminar on ” Integration challenges in South Asian Community”. This is very important program and SACLG  has invited and encouraged all south asian community, academic , government & business community  to be part of this discussion.

Asian migration in last two decades has changed the multiculturalism paradigm in Australia. Migration categories mainly comprises of refugee, humanitarian and skill. Studies have shown that youth communities from this region face many challenges such as social disharmony, intergenerational conflicts,   disillusion, language barriers, domestic violence, homelessness and depression in trying to adopt to   an Australian way life in early days of settlement process and also post settlement.

This one day workshop supported by Hume City Council grant, is designed to bring youths from the    South Asian Communities who will share their experiences and discuss about underlying causes such as linguistic, cultural, employment, sports and policy, which in their opinion and experiences are   contributing factors during and post settlement periods. The workshop will be attended by youth community from various countries of the region, academic, government and community organisations to    discuss with the aim to understand the complexity of issues and help address them.

South Asian migration have added significant diversity to multicultural society, economy and business community. The role of government, community organisations and business communities is crucial to address the integration challenges. The workshop will hold a panel discussion attended by the experts from both community and policy makers and submit recommendation from the findings of the workshops. The discussion outcome will also empower youth to take proactive leadership role to deal with   issues and address future challenges.
