National Conference of the Federation of African Communities Councils in Aus

The Federation of African Communities Councils in Australia (FACCA) was recently established in response to the growing need for a strong and united national African-Australian umbrella organisation with a strong, united and cohesive voice.

The International Decade of People of African Decent, declared by the United Nations on 23 December 2013 will formally begin in January 2015.

This milestone conference will celebrate the journey that African Australians have taken in their migration, settlement and integration into Australian society during the last two decades. For many, and particularly those who have arrived as humanitarian entrants, this has required overcoming great adversity in order to embrace a safer, more harmonious and hopeful future for themselves and their children.

The conference will also acknowledge the significant contribution that African Australians have made to the economic, cultural and social development of Australia in a breadth of areas including but not limited to business, education, medical and health sciences, Australian-African relations, artistic and cultural enterprise.
