Settlement Council of Australia launched the Stories of Multicultural Australia Project during Harmony Week in March 2022. With more than 40 participants from across Australia, this project is training the next generation of diverse storytellers for media commentary and helping them shape the conversation on multicultural affairs in Australian news media.
In 2022, SCOA facilitated a series of bespoke webinars and workshops to ensure our storytellers are media ready. The project is led by Mahsa Fratantoni, who launched the inaugural program on behalf of SCOA, with broadcast skills training provided by the Community Media Training Organisation.
