Federal Member for Chifley Roger Price announced (that) the Federal Government would spend $50,000 in support for newly-arrived migrants and refugees.<\/p>\n
Through the Government\u2019s Diverse Australia Program, Blacktown Arts Centre\u2019s African Theatre Education Kit will bring to life a play written over two years by a Sudanese youth group.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis Australian Government funding will allow the Centre to professionally film the play and develop an education resource kit for western Sydney high schools,\u201d Mr Price said.<\/p>\n
Aimed at both African and non-African youth, \u201cMy Name is Sud (Soo-d)\u201d deals with inter-generational conflict, the differences between African and Australian culture, cultural isolation and trauma.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of the newly-arrived youth have already overcome considerable odds to escape hardship in their former homelands and begin their new lives in Australia,\u201d Mr Price said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet they still face many difficulties in being able to get involved in our community because of their limited English skills and unfamiliarity with Australian customs and culture.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is crucial that youth from all backgrounds feel welcome in the Blacktown community,\u201d Mr Price said.<\/p>\n
