Major Prior Network Events and Activities

 

5 June 2006:
Public forum: Countering terrorism in our community:
                         Implications and issues for religious and cultural communities in Knox

The keynote speaker was Detective Sergeant Tony Demarte, from Victoria Police's Security Intelligence Group. 30 people from faith communities in the Network attended, along with Cr David Cooper (Mayor of Knox), Cr Monique Davey, Senior Sergeant John Hess (Knox Police Commander) and Sergeant Wayne McDonald (Knox Police).  An energetic presentation was followed by an animated question and answer session.  Attendees learnt about the breadth of counter-terrorism activities and the means by which Victoria Police carry out these challenging responsibilities. 

Thanks to Victoria Police for their help in setting this up!!

 

Knox Festival 2011

The Knox Inter-faith Network was present at the 2011 Knox Festival at Wally Tew Recreation Reserve in Ferntree Gully.

We spent time talking with adult visitors interested in the Network and what we do, while children enjoyed creative activities: drawing, colouring in pictures or making origami peace cranes.

 


The Knox Inter-faith Network was a significant supporter of:
Communities Together: A Model for Promoting Harmony and Understanding of Australian Muslims.

This program was run by the Migrant Information Centre (Eastern Melbourne) in 2003-2004 with funding from the Australian Commonwealth Government under the 2004 Living in Harmony Community Grants Program.

Refer to the report of this program at: www.miceastmelb.com.au/documents/FINALREPORT.pdf  
 

A brief summary of recent activities is available at this link.
