Oxfam Community Aid Abroad

The East West Centre is currently organising a group of likeminded students who are willing to volunteer their time to an international organisation called Oxfam. We wish to work with Oxfam to facilitate a greater understanding of human rights both internationally and locally.

There are a number of opportunities for QUT students to become involved in supporting Oxfam, whether by donating their time to events or campaigns, or by forming or becoming involved in active groups on campus and off. You can also try your hand at raising money as a means of providing much needed aid to initiatives around the world.

If you would like to become involved, or would like more information, please contact Sarah Pearce at sarah.pearce@qut.edu.au

Multicultural Media Library

The East West Centre is encouraging students and staff to donate books, CD's and DVD's from your home country (in English or other languages) to be borrowed by international/domestic students and QUT staff through the Multicultural Media Library. The Multicultural Media Library aims to foster a mutual appreciation of diverse cultures.

Students and staff are invited to be part of the exchange process to discover new and exciting materials which may differ from their own current life experiences. By opening the doorway for this exchange, we are hoping to facilitate an environment for people to learn of popular mediums of media in different countries, whilst enjoying the experience.

We ask students and staff to donate anything which they think will be helpful for others to learn about their culture in an enjoyable atmosphere, in the form of cultural books, movies and/or CD’s.

Contact the East West Centre if you think that you have an item (or two) to donate. Please contact Sarah Pearce at eastwest@qut.edu.au for more information.
