How Youth from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities think the Police Can Better Engage Them.

12:00pm – 2:00pm, Monday 19 May 2008
Old Senate Room, Irwin St Building, UWA

The Centre for Muslim States and Societies (CMSS), in collaboration with the Western Australian Police (WAPOL) will be holding a focus group session with youth from Cultural and Linguistically Diverse Communities.

The discussion will focus on how youth think the police can better engage their culturally diverse communities.

The forum will be facilitated by Associate Professor Samina Yasmeen. Representatives of the Western Australian Police will be attending to bring participants up to date with how the Police are currently engaging CALD communities.

If you have an interest in the role of police in your community and have something to say about police interaction or engagement, you are invited to join us to share your opinions.

Your suggestions will be used to inform the WAPOL to understand and engage diverse communities.

This is an open forum and all ideas will be welcome.
