CONTACT Inc was the first youth arts and cultural development company in Australia to bring together young people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Pacific Islander and emerging communities within peace-building frameworks, directly inspired by the The Third Place Policy: 'the creation of a space where cultures can safely and meaningfully meet'. Our processes grow connections, understanding and communities of belonging as well as exploring the dynamic tension of known (safe) processes and unknown (risky) outcomes. Our work is long term, consistent and focused on capacity building strategies that mobilise young people and artists from diverse cultural backgrounds to be active citizens and change agents within their communities.
