For Jebbeh Manubah, finding freedom – the theme of Refugee Week – means much more than just words. It is a poignant and powerful encapsulation of the refugee journey. #RefugeeWeekAU innercitynews.com.au/finding-freedo… Tony R.

Yesterday CNLC held an event for Refugee Week. Students drew what freedom means to them, and shared a hope or wish for the future. That hope was then released into the fire. #RefugeeWeekAU Refugee Council of Australia

If you go down to the woods today, you'd better...be prepared for an amazing Teddy Bears picnic! Yesterday our Alive & Active class organised a special Teddy Bears picnic. A real life dog may have also snuck in to one of the hand-made cars!

CNLC is more than an adult education facility. It’s a vibrant community committed to making a real difference in the lives of migrants & refugees and other adult learners, providing the necessary support to help them build a brighter future in Australia. innercitynews.com.au/how-cnlc-adult…

The rising cost of living in Australia has driven an unprecedented need for food relief, signalling a systemic issue that requires urgent attention. In the interim, community organisations like CNLC continue to provide essential relief. innercitynews.com.au/cost-of-living…

How good does our new recycling hub look? Well done to Carlos, our Compost Project Officer, for his construction skills, & volunteer Genevieve for assisting with the design. We think it looks great at the entrance to CNLC & hope it will be easier for the community to recycle.
