Latest News: Frank Lotito, the star of the recent Australian smash-hit film, Big Mamma’s Boy will be joining us at the 2011 GIA Forum in Melbourne at the end of November!
The Forum
The Forum is an annual event that brings together roughly 100 people from around the country. Forums are an opportunity to become better acquainted with the Italian community in their city and to challenge their ideas about what lies ahead for all things Italian in Australia.
Who can participate
The Forum is open to all aged 18 - 35.
How is it funded
You pay for your own flights and accommodation (if you’re traveling from interstate).
A small $30 (earlybird), $40 (late) registration fee is charged to all participants that covers the cost of organising the event and includes all activities on Saturday and Sunday.
What to expect
The Forum is a serious event, but also serious fun!
Italian community leaders will be attending the Forum and will be seeking to engage with you on topical issues that will influence the future of the Italian community.
We’re also here to make friends, socialise, expand our professional networks and meet like-minded people from around Australia.
Expect to have lots of fun and be challenged during the weekend!
Program available here.

"WOMEN TALK ABOUT WOMEN"
Announcing Laura Lori (La Trobe University) on "Women Talk About Women"
The talk will focus on characters in Desert Flower and the characters of postcolonial Somali novels, written in Italia, in order to glean a portrait of today's heroines, complex contemporary women who move in a world that professes multiculturalism but that is maybe not yet ready to actually live it in total awareness.
The lecutre will be followed by a screening of the 2009 film 'Desert Flower' by Sherry Horman.
