Working with AMWCHR

FD ran an action-packed workshop at the Melbourne University Law School in co-operation with the Australian Muslim Women’s Centre for Human Rights (AMWCHR). Several FD trainers worked with a group of almost forty students from three Melbourne - based schools: East Preston Islamic College, Mount Hira College and the Australian International Academy.

Students warmed up with voice exercises and then spoke enthusiastically about topics such as the injustices of child labour and domestic violence to the power of social media. All students developed the confidence to speak in front of their audience – even those who were adamant they wouldn’t be able to!

FD found it a pleasure to help such passionate students take steps to fulfil their potential, and we look forward to working again with AMWCHR.
