Han Yu Qiao - Chinese Bridge

On Friday 2nd July, we went to the Nationa Wine Centre and attended the Han Yu Qiao event, in English meaning Chinese Bridge: a chinese speaking competition for Secondary School students.

It was a very successful event and contestants performed speeches and traditional cultural acts showing their understanding of the Chinese culture - a very multicultural event indeed!


NEO voices had the opportunity to interview Mr Ji De ZHANG from the Embassy of P.R.C in Australia and Mr Yu Feng DOU from the Confucius Institute.


For details, remember to turn on 101.5 FM, 6pm-7pm and listen to NEO Voices!

Meanwhile, have a sneak peak from our preview below :)

Refugee Week (June 20th-26th)

"Freedom from Fear"


This week is the official Refugee Week in Australia. Run by the Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA), Refugee Week provides a platform where positive images of refugees can be promoted in order to create a culture of welcome throughout the country.

When refugees flee, they are forced to abandon everything they know and love. They are separated from family members, lose belongings, are left with little or no money. Most have no idea what kind of future awaits them.

In seeking refuge in another country refugees are hoping to find freedom from that fear. They are looking for the opportunity to lead a normal life, as part of a community, where they can live in safety and security, find work and send their children to school.

In choosing the theme as "Freedom from Fear", RCOA are hoping to draw attention not just to the fear that compels refugees to run, but the relief they feel when they are welcomed into another country and given the opportunity to rebuild their lives.


As mentioned in the show on June 21st, some upcoming events maybe of interest are:
