East Gippsland’s
Free Event Guide

Introduction
Council is committed to making East Gippsland a leader in promoting
and developing communities that value diversity and encourage
belonging and understanding.
Social Inclusion Week is about encouraging communities to reconnect and be inclusive of all cultures, age groups, nationalities and the disadvantaged.
The week aims to help Australians feel valued and to give people the opportunity to participate fully in society. It’s about connecting with local communities, work mates, family and friends to build relationships and networks, addressing isolation and exclusion by supporting people who may be unable help themselves.
Council’s vision is for a socially inclusive community, where everyone is valued and
opportunities are created for everyone to participate in community life.
Conceptualised by Dr Jonathon Welch AM, and supported by Rotary and the School of Hard Knocks, Social Inclusion Week was launched in 2009 as a way for communities to share knowledge and experience to educate and raise awareness. It is an annual initiative that takes place the last week in November. Social Inclusion Week runs from Sunday 25 November to Sunday 2 December. Social Inclusion Week’s theme is Collaborate, Connect and Celebrate! A strong call to action to encourage people of all ages to join together and engage with the objectives of the Week by hosting or attending a social inclusion focused event. Key social inclusion target groups include young people 12-25 years of age, jobless families with children, disadvantaged Australians, people with a disability or mental illness, people who are homeless, older people and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders.
