Your Choice, Our Future

Your Choice, Our Future

A number of Saint Ignatius College students participated in the first of three online conferences about diversity and acceptance of difference.

The conference is called Your Choice, Our Future. The conference is an initiative of FAIR (Forum of Australia's Islamic Relations).

During the first day of the conference we explored the idea of difference, stereotypes, faith and labels with students from Sacred Heart College (Catholic - Geelong), Minaret College (Muslim - Springvale) and Mt Scopus College (Jewish - Burwood).

Our M.C., Kate, help us engage and interact with one another and a number of guest presenters: Khaled Khalafalla (actor, comedian), George Green (author, creator, international motivational speaker) and Simone Douglas (author, social media expert).

We look forward to the second of the conferences in February 2019 where we will plan and complete a number of social media campaigns. These campaigns will be completely planned and completed collaboratively as we seek to change perceptions and attitudes towards diversity and acceptance.
