Feasts, Friendships and Fanfares

Triple F is a project that will mobilise up to 10 culturally diverse communities to organise a whole day each , once a month dedicated to give people outside their culture a series of activities that transport them into a new world of culinary delights, music, dancing, cooking, exploring art and craft and textiles, and discovering precious rituals and traditions that are now part of the Australian landscape. Each cultural community has its own specific ways of celebrating and depending on which culture is holding the event, some of the activities will include coffee ceremonies, henna painting, drumming, sari dressing

The project is aimed at engaging the broader community in experiencing for a day a new culture by getting involved in immersive activities of that culture as participants rather than spectators. Breaking down cultural barriers, building connections and sharing the most enjoyable aspects of each community as a way to build more support and appreciation between cultural groups and to get a sense that these cultural practices are gifts bestowed unto the Australian community to enjoy, partake of and make their own. Triple F is a vehicle for increasing belonging, expanding connections and expressing generosity, welcome, inclusion and hospitality
