First Civics Education Workshop for Chinese Australians in Victoria Successfully Held
维州华人社区首次公民教育大型讲座成功举行
The inaugural Civics Education Workshop held at Kew Golf Club on 29 September 2024 was a huge success, attracting around 130 participants. This groundbreaking initiative, co-organized by the Chinese Community Council of Australia, Victoria Chapter (CCCAV) and the Australian Asian Business Women’s Association (AABWA), aimed to empower Chinese Australians to participate actively in the democratic process.
Participants showed tremendous interest in the workshop, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Australian democracy’s inner workings. They learned effective ways to engage with the democratic process, fostering a sense of civic responsibility. Notably, one of the workshop’s key focuses – identifying misinformation and disinformation – resonated strongly with attendees, equipping them with essential tools to navigate the complex digital landscape in their civics and citizenship activities.
Dr. Eric Fu, a Senior Research Fellow from the University of Melbourne, led the workshop, sharing his expertise in Civics and Citizenship Education. The event was supported by the Chinese Australian Forum (CAF) and the Australian Government’s National Foundation for Australia-China Relations, demonstrating a collaborative effort to promote civic engagement among Chinese Australians.
This workshop marks a significant step towards fostering a more informed and active Chinese Australian community in Victoria. By raising awareness and empowering individuals with knowledge and skills, we can build a more vibrant and inclusive democracy.

Have Your Say: Chinese Community Consultation on Chadstone’s Future
发表您的意见：关于墨尔本Chadstone未来规划的华人社区咨询
Chadstone是一个位于维多利亚州顶级购物胜地附近充满活力的社区。
墨尔本、维多利亚州及其他地区的人们来到 Chadstone 购物中心享受购物、餐饮和娱乐。该中心为成千上万的维多利亚州居民提供就业、服务和日常需求，周边地区的公园、学校和社区设施也为当地社区的繁荣发展提供了支持。
但在整个维多利亚州，没有多少人有机会负担得起类似 Chadstone 所提供的环境的房子。维持现状不是一种选择，我们需要立即采取行动，确保未来每个维多利亚州居民都能在自己可以繁荣发展的地方拥有一套负担得起的住房。
这就是为什么维州政府希望更多的维多利亚州居民能够选择在这个区定居。维州交通和规划部根据居民反馈制定了《Chadstone 活动中心规划草案》，以指导 Chadstone在未来几十年，即现在到 2051 年，如何慢慢改变。现将于2024年9 月 23 日星期一下午 6 点至 7 点举办在线信息发布会，进一步听取社区意见。
