About Shout Out
We think it’s best to hear about issues related to multicultural young people from multicultural young people themselves.
If you have an event, conference, workshop or meeting that would be enriched by a multicultural young person speaking passionately about a range of subjects, Shout Out can help. We deliver in person services in Melbourne and online Australia-wide.
Why Shout Out?
Young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds have a wealth of perspectives and unique ideas to contribute to Australia’s rich diversity. However their voices are often stereotyped, marginalised or invisible in mainstream culture and this can damage their ability to feel like they belong.
Shout Out is an opportunity for young people to redress the balance and present their stories to audiences who may not usually have the chance to hear them.
