A local program in Darwin helps refugees and new migrants connect with their communities, while building lifelong friendships.


The Multicultural Walking Groups program run by Anglicare NT in Darwin is becoming a crucial means for refugees and new migrants to build social connections amid escalating global conflict.

Through weekly activities supported by the STEPS educational institution, participants from countries such as Sri Lanka, China, and Congo can practice English skills and interact with the local population in an inclusive atmosphere.
