The exciting children’s African dance troupe AfroKidz delighted the crowd at the Walk Together festival on October 22.

The public’s view of refugees is influenced by politicians and the media who associate the term with fear and panic. On June 22, as part of Refugee Week 2013, non-government organisation Welcome to Australia coordinated Walk Together demonstrations throughout the country in support of refugees and human rights. The Sydney event was held in Parramatta. Marchers including union groups, religious and social justice communities gathered at Church Street near the Parramatta River. Ozi Batla of hip-hop collective The Herd performed at the post-walk festival in Parramatta Park.
