Togetherness is our foundation.
Our constitution sets out a shared purpose: to promote Bashi cultural heritage and traditional values in Queensland, and strengthen community integration through participation.
Our shared aims
- Share cultural heritage and introduce young people to community language.
- Build social connections that help people find appropriate support services.
- Bring parents and children together through family events.
- Encourage harmony in relationships.
- Take part in Queensland multicultural festivals and events.
- Support community-led social activities and participation.
- Promote peace, tolerance and social cohesion among African young people and the wider community.
These are the association’s objectives, not a promise that every activity is currently running. Contact the committee for current schedules and opportunities.
