Welcoming Cities
Alisha’s experience includes Welcoming Cities work as part of her broader intercultural and community-development practice. This sits alongside Welcoming Dinners, community-centre activities and partnerships supporting welcoming and inclusive participation.
Welcoming participation and cultural visibility
