MVA was pleased to attend The Lote Agency's Celebrating Multicultural Media & Community Connections event in Melbourne.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with multicultural media representatives, community leaders and organisations and to share ideas about the future of multicultural media and community engagement.

Our General Manager, Marianne Wangira, joined a panel discussion on the challenges, opportunities and future direction of the sector.

Thank you to The LOTE Agency for bringing together so many passionate voices from across our multicultural communities.
