And now About FACE open to anyone 18+ so older adults are also welcome to apply!
So as long as you are over 18, have the right attitudes and abilities towards participating in a program that is all about being with indigenous Australians, About FACE 12 is your opportunity to grow your world view, your faith, and your relational networks.
This opens up lots of possibilities. Come as an individual. Come with a mate. Bring a small group from your church with a mentor. Get a crew from your presbytery to participate – now your presbytery minister can come with you. Mum, Dad and their young adult family members can all come together.
About FACE is a unique opportunity to live alongside Aboriginal communities connected to Congress (Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress), make life long friends, do some faith centred soul-searching and have some serious fun.
It involves some cultural sensitivity training together first, probably in Melbourne; then time being hosted by various indigenous communities in different parts of Australia, in small groups; and then some time back together as a whole group to reflect on what you learned, how you grew, and how you might help your back home communities to engage with indigenous people and issues.
