9 LIFE Community Volunteering students will meet at Heathmont train station at 8:30am. They will then catch the train into the city to take part in a Big Issue Classroom Workshop. Students will then catch the train back to Ringwood station where they will be dismissed at approximately 3pm.
Students need to bring: Student Myki and either money to purchase lunch or food to eat for lunch/recess.
The Big Issue Classroom workshops are a unique educational experience providing school, tertiary and corporate groups with a real-life insight into homelessness and disadvantage, as experienced by thousands of Australians every night.
Participants hear first-hand from people who have experienced homelessness or disadvantage, helping to break down stereotypes surrounding hardship in our communities, careers, and interactions with others. The workshops also help participants better understand the unique role of social enterprise in addressing some of Australia’s most critical social issues.
