In this episode you will hear from Lella Cariddi who curated many migration stories which have significantly contributed to Victoria’s cultural and historic diversity. These stories earned her a 2022 Community History Award for Oral History. She has also worked closely with Multicultural Arts Victoria and various other organisations for which she has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia.

With us is also Con Pagonis who worked thirty years with the Australian government mainly in migration and multicultural affairs and spend another eight years as a Multicultural Policy Adviser with State and Local Government in Victoria. He has also volunteered for many years at the Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria.

They talk about their family's journeys with migration and will share tips on how to write your own migration story. They also talk about the challenges in the aged care system and the importance of older people's voices being heard. 

Hope you'll feel inspired.

Tune in and let us know what you think. We would love to hear from you.
