The Australian-Filipino Community Service (AFCS) hosts a community event at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne to highlight how digital technology connects younger and older Filipino migrants with their Australian-born children.

Sharing Migration Stories: Participants recount personal and family experiences of settling permanently in Australia, reflecting the Filipino journey of adaptation and resilience.
Bridging the Digital Divide: The event tackles how technology can both connect and challenge multi-generational Filipino families in maintaining relationships across borders and generations.
Youth as Digital Guides: Younger migrants and Australian-born Filipinos play a key role in helping ageing relatives access digital tools and platforms that enhance communication and quality of life.
