Social Cohesion: What Role Do We Play? Featuring Farid Abdul Hamid, presented by Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council

It’s been a confronting few months. Locally, we’ve seen incidents that have shaken members of our community. Nationally, the Bondi Beach terror attack in December reminded us how quickly trust between communities can be threatened. And globally, events continue to put pressure on the ties that hold diverse societies together.
But social cohesion isn’t just something that happens to us. It’s something we build, maintain, fracture, and repair. And all of us have a role in that.

At this BizNet breakfast, we’re delighted to welcome Farid Abdul Hamid from the Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council, who attended the inaugural Australian Social Cohesion Summit in Melbourne last October, a landmark national gathering of over 350 leaders from community, research, government and industry. Farid will share insights from the latest research and spark a conversation about what social cohesion looks like right here in Ballarat.

Come ready to listen, reflect, and leave with something practical you can act on.
