 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (19:21): (2486) My adjournment this evening is for Minister Stitt, the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and the action that I seek is an update on The Space Between, which is an innovative program whose launch I had the privilege of attending last week with the minister at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum. The Space Between is an immersive workplace program with video profiles and interactive activities. Video profiles of everyday Jewish Victorians guide you through their daily lives. It is a program that invites and challenges all individuals within workplaces to explore difficult conversations in a safe space – conversations which can challenge people’s preconceived notions of each other. It breaks down barriers between race and religion and is a powerful way that we can address antisemitism and drive social cohesion at the grassroots level. The project is being supported by the Labor government through the minister’s portfolio in partnership with the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, and I would like to acknowledge museum CEO Dr Breann Fallon and co-president and good friend Sue Hampel OAM for having us on the night. The action that I seek is an update from the minister on this very encouraging program.
