Melton council is hosting a range of events to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) locally, with two free sessions planned for Caroline Springs residents.
IWD is celebrated around the world on March 8 each year in recognition of women’s achievements, to build support for women’s rights, and to continue the ongoing global fight for gender equality.
Residents can participate in the movement by simply visiting the Caroline Springs Library & Learning Hub.
On March 6, from 10 am to noon, locals will be able to make their own unique artwork with guidance from local indigenous artist, Mandi Barton as part of the ‘Storytelling in Art’ workshop.
In this hands-on, mindful workshop, participants will make a unique piece of artwork using symbols, icons and words that reflect a personal story or memory.
The empowering program also includes a showcase of films and resources that highlight women and girls, and the important role that they play in our history and society — and nothing portrays that message more than the film ‘Moana’.
People are encouraged to bring the whole family on March 8 at 1 pm, to enjoy the screening of ‘Moana’, an animated musical adventure set in ancient Polynesia, Registrations are required for both events.
