Welcome to the fifth RISE Canberra Podcast!

In this episode Jen Seyderhelm is in conversation with early childhood educator and facilitator of Art For Aged Care, Fiona Harris and Karen Champion, who works in the disability sector and started the Northside Recreation Group Disco. Fiona creates arts activities to build a pathway between the elderly with her group of young children, meanwhile Karen runs discos for those living with a disability. Both speak of watching participants come alive and the importance of music, painting, dance and connection to all human beings.
