Would like you to join our fundraising team for this campaign.
FECAA is the peak national body representing the Equatoria Community (commonly known as Equatorians) in Australia. The Equatorians are compose of 36 different ethnic tribes out of 64 tribes in South Sudan. All these 36 tribes are from a linguistically diverse backgrounds but see themselves as one under the Equatoria banner.
Since 2012 the Equatoria Community, leaders in each State and Territory across Australia have been working together to support the community integrate into Australia by developing high quality, culturally sensitive, civic education and training programs to support community members from Equatoria and other South Sudanese groups in Australia. FECAA’s priority areas include:
1. Strengthening FECAA’s capacity to be self-reliant and able to support the community members.
2. Improving access to information and services delivering through educational programs
3. Building bridges between other communities, non for profits, and key institutions (business, local & Federal government etc.) to increase partnership and cooperation.
4. Supporting, promoting and celebrating our diversity.
5. Secure office space across state and territory
This year’s conference theme is Building A Stronger and Vibrant South Sudanese Equatoria Community in Australia which focus on building inclusive, collaborative, leadership and partnership through guidance at grass-root community level that increases, involvement, and participation of community members in education and workforce for all ages. This is a unique opportunity for you and your organisation to connect with the community leaders and their members across Australia. This conference will further draw more emphasis on how to build specialist services for the community to support their integration as well as manage and minimise the effects of trauma on the children and the community. This will be achieved through collaboration between the States and Territories leaders and their respective community members who are coming together to deliberate on solutions and implement a strong partnership between South Sudanese Equatoria communities in the whole of Australia.
This year’s FECAA National Conference also coincides with the Equatoria Cultural Day celebration in South Australia. This is an annual event in South Sudan Equatoria Community Association in South Australia calendar bringing people together to share their joy and culture with the rest of the wider community. The event will showcase the traditional arts and dances from South Sudan Equatoria Region, talent of aspiring young South Sudanese musicians and much more interesting and exciting colorful stuff that should not be missed.
