Paula: Hi everyone,
I want to let you know about an exciting presentation on cultures from around the world.
We're inviting three Deaf presenters to share stories about their countries. We'll learn about their culture, Deaf community, sign language, food, and more.
Let's meet them!
Anastasia: Hi, my name is Anastasia.
I've been backpacking around Australia for the past year and a half. I was born in Russia and grew up in Italy. I'll be sharing my experience of Italy. A lot of people think Italian food is just pizza and pasta. No, that's definitely not true! Come along and find out more.
Lolita: Hi, my name is Lolita.
I'm from Russia and I've been living here for three years. I'd love to share some of my Russian culture with you. Some people have misconceptions about Russians and think we're all very grumpy. But we're actually very friendly! Come along and learn more.
Salomon: Hi, my name is Salomon.
I'm from Switzerland. I've been living here for six years. A lot of people think that everyone in Switzerland eats chocolate every day! If you'd like to learn more about our food and culture, come along.
Paula: How exciting!
This is a great opportunity to watch the presentations, learn something new, and connect with others over a chat.
The event will be held on Saturday 18 July, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, at the Deaf Victoria office in Ross House, Melbourne CBD.
Please RSVP so we know how many people are coming and can make sure there's enough food for everyone.
It's a free event too!
See you there.
Everyone: Cheers! ... See MoreSee Less
