The Charter recognises the need to increase women’s participation in key decision making forums in the community and in democratic governance. A three point action plan focussing on Diversity, Active Citizenship and Gender Equity guides the key strategic objectives of this committee. The GSWCAAC is made up of community representatives and Council Officers, and is supported by Greater Shepparton City Council. The GSWCAAC meets monthly and community members are welcome to attend as guests, with an annual intake of members undertaken in March each year.

Venue Village Cinemas, Stewart Street, Shepparton. Movie – The Good Lie The Good Lie was written by Margaret Nagle, directed by Philippe Falardeau, and produced by Ron Howard amongst others. They were known simply as 'The Lost Boys.' Orphaned by the brutal Civil war in Sudan that began in 1983, these young victims travelled as many as a thousand miles on foot in search of safety. Fifteen years later, a humanitarian effort would bring 3600 lost boys and girls to America. M15/38121 Page | 3 In 'The Good Lie,' Philippe Falardeau brings the story of their survival and triumph to life. Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon stars alongside Sudanese actors Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanuel Jal, and newcomer Nyakuoth Weil, many of whom were also children of war. The film trailer can be accessed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2tI5zW3IU8 Right: Still from the movie ‘The Good Lie’. “The movie was excellent and Thon was very informative and interesting. Thank you for providing the opportunity to attend.” Feedback from an audience member. Speaker: Thon Makuei Thon spoke before the movie. Thon was also a ‘Lost Boy’ and escaped persecution in Sudan before travelling hundreds of kilometres to a refugee camp. Thon eventually arrived in Australia, and currently resides in the Shepparton area. Thon’s speech was thought provoking and moving, and gave the audience an insight into the traumas and challenges faced by Sudanese refugees. Left: Thon Makuei Thon spoke about his experiences as a refugee, before the screening of ‘The Good Lie’. M15/38121 Page | 4 “…very powerful hearing Thon Thon speak of his experience and then putting it into perspective watching the film.” Feedback from an audience member. Sponsors/Partners Funding and in kind support was provided by: Greater Shepparton City Council The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District The Shepparton Interfaith Network Audience Approximately 155 people attended the event.

Resources The GSWCAAC has an aim to provide resources at all their events, including resources from the Australian Human Right Commission’s ‘Know the Line’ sexual harassment campaign. These resources were provided along with brochures regarding other local community events. For example: Refugee Week brochures. M15/38121 Page | 5 Catering Sudanese food was provided by ‘Taste the Motherland Food’. The food included savoury mains and a sweet semolina dessert. “The food was lovely and really added to the vibe for the night.” Feedback from an audience member. Right: Sudanese food was provided before the movie. Suppliers The following organisations/businesses provided services: Taste the Motherland Food – Sudanese catering Village Cinemas Shepparton – Venue and film Alluring Design –Design of posters EventBrite ‐ Ticketing Budget The event was funded by the GSWCAAC, Greater Shepparton City Council, The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District, and The Shepparton Interfaith Network. There was ‘in kind’ support provided, as follows: Greater Shepparton City Council donated some communications, stationery, and staff. The Shepparton News provided free coverage – before the event. The GSWCAAC organising sub‐committee and the Committee as a whole donated their time. Please see Appendix 1 for a full expenditure breakdown. Advertising It should be noted very little advertising was required for this event as tickets ‘sold out’ well in advance of the event. This occurred due to a number of factors, such as; the GSWCAAC now has a large list of friends who attend and spread the word, the event was popular last year, the quality of the movie, and The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District and The Shepparton Interfaith Network being on board as partners.

  • INFLUENTIAL TIME for MONTRÉAL in BARCELONA for More Than a Century, the Mercè De Barcelone Has Been One of Europe’S Greatest Events
    “At the top of all the charts, Montréal has acquired an enviable reputation on the world stage—and culture plays an important role in this.” Mélanie Joly Minister of Canadian Heritage Martin Coiteux Minister of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy, Minister of Public Security, Minister responsible for Montréal region INFLUENTIAL TIME FOR MONTRÉAL IN BARCELONA For more than a century, the Mercè de Barcelone has been one of Europe’s greatest events. This late-summer festival attracts more than two million participants and tourists. Montréal was the guest of honour in 2013. The program developed by Montréal featured the city’s digital creativity and artistic invent- iveness. Without a doubt, the highlight was provided by Moment Factory, based on an idea of Renaud – Architecture d’événe- ments: a multimedia spectacle projected on the facade of the Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s celebrated, if still unfinished, basilica. Titled Ode à la vie, it was a homage to the work of the Barcelona architect who, through the play of light and optics, emphasized lines and sculptures, while bringing poetic images to life, as if rising up from a dream. For three even- ings the show was acclaimed by thousands of enchanted spectators. A creation by Cirque Éloize, an electronic music performance presented by Piknic Électronik, a concert performed by traditional music group Le Vent du Nord and a festival of Québec films filled out this rich and varied programming—all in the image of the city they represent!

  • THE GOOD LIE - På Bio 21 November
    2014-09-11 11:28 CEST THE GOOD LIE - på bio 21 november The Good Lie är en känslosam och stundvis varmt humoristisk historia om att ta risker, våga släppa in människor i våra liv och tro på att mirakel faktiskt kan ske. THE LOST BOYS Filmen är baserad på verkliga händelser och berättar historien om några av de 20.000 så kallade Lost Boys of Sudan som lämnades föräldralösa i det brutala Sudanesiska inbördeskriget i mitten på 80-talet och tvingades ut på en lång och farlig vandring i jakt efter säkerhet och asyl. Femton år senare får 3600 pojkar och flickor möjligheten att resa till USA och starta ett nytt liv. Ett år senare inträffar terrorattacken 9/11 och hela asylprojektet stoppas. TVÅ VÄRLDAR SOM MÖTS Filmen kretsar huvudsakligen kring tre Lost Boys: Mamere, Paul och Jeremiah. Vi möter dem tillsammans med Mameres äldre bror Theo och yngre syster Abital – som barn på en farlig vandring från ett krigshärjat syd Sudan, sökandes efter en säker tillflykt. 13 år senare möter vi dem igen, som unga vuxna i flyktinglägret Kakuma i Kenya och slutligen får vi följa deras resa till USA och den enorma kulturkrock som uppstår när två världar möts. Den som utses till att möta upp gruppen på flygplatsen och hjälpa dem in i det amerikanska samhället blir den stressade och smått oförstående arbetsförmedlaren Carrie Davis. Carrie, som hade hoppats på att snabbt och enkelt klara av sitt jobb utan att bli djupare involverad, blir sakta men säkert mer och mer engagerad i de tre vilsna, men ändå hoppfulla unga männen som varken förstår hur en telefon fungerar och som hellre sover på golvet än i sina nya sängar.

  • Beauty, Το Καλον, and Its Relation to the Good in the Works of Plato
    BEAUTY, ΤΟ ΚΑΛΟΝ, AND ITS RELATION TO THE GOOD IN THE WORKS OF PLATO by Nicholas P. Riegel A Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicholas Riegel 2011 BEAUTY, ΤΟ ΚΑΛΟΝ, AND ITS RELATION TO THE GOOD IN THE WORKS OF PLATO Nicholas Riegel Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Toronto 2011 ABSTRACT Despite the evident importance of beauty (τὸ καλόν) in Plato, the precise relation between beauty and goodness (τὸ ἀγαθόν) has yet to be specified. Part of the reason for this seems to be the belief that καλός should not be translated ‘beautiful,’ because it has a broader sense and application than our word ‘beautiful.’ A better translation, on this view, would be something like ‘fine.’ But it is difficult to see the difference between fineness and goodness, and it is perhaps for this reason that determining the relation between the two has not been felt an urgent task. In the first chapter we shall investigate the use of the Greek word καλός in some of the major authors prior to and contemporary with Plato in order to determine the strength of the evidence for translations of καλός other than ‘beautiful.’ It will be argued that the evidence for translations of καλός other than ‘beautiful’ is weak, and thus that the word should ii generally be translated ‘beautiful.’ When we turn to Plato’s understanding of τὸ καλόν, we find that he often seems to associate the concept closely with goodness, and yet there are also passages which suggest a difference between the two.

The lectures will be given at the usual class times, recorded, and then posted on myCourses. Similarly, discussions around assigned readings and films will take place as scheduled. They too will be recorded and uploaded to myCourses. Introduction Purpose of the Course This course is an introduction to the ideas and approaches that scholars have applied to and derived from the study of Quebec. It has been designed to familiarize you with some of the foremost issues, which have shaped and continue to influence contemporary life in Quebec. Employing an interdisciplinary focus, the course examines changing notions about how Quebecers have lived together: specifically by what means they have interacted with one another, earned a living, and responded to various political regimes. With eleven Indigenous nations, multilingual, multiethnic, racialized, and religious communities, minority status in Canada, and so much more, the complexity and diversity of Quebec will be explored. Given anxiety about the ‘racial’ makeup of Quebec, particularly in periods of mass immigration that subjected newcomers to intolerance and debates about their inability to meet the standards of inclusion, attention will also be paid to ideas about citizenship.
