P2P Community Engagement - English Language Students' Get Together

Ethnic Health Forum staff organised "One Dish Party" with English Class students who recently arrived to this country. This activity helped them to speak and explain about their traditional food. The food served an excuse to bring them together for cultural interaction and integration. They loved it and asked us to do it again because they never find these activities in any place where they usually go to learn the English language.
