كيف يمكنك أن تنخرط في الحياة الاجتماعية في أستراليا وتنمية الصداقات الجديدة إن كنت لا تتكلم الانكليزية وحين يتوافق تاريخ هجرتك إليها مع بداية الحجر الصحي خلال أزمة الكورونا؟ تحدثنا منتهى في هذه الحلقة عن تجربة إيجابية تعيشها من خلال برنامج لقاءات دورية اجتماعية عبر الهاتف. يعرّفها البرنامج على مهاجرين آخرين لهم تجربة مشابهة في الحياة ويعيشون في كل أنحاء أستراليا.
About the storyteller
فقدت منتهى بصرها تدريجياً في أولى سنوات شبابها في العراق. هاجرت الى أستراليا كلاجئة في بداية 2020 ولم تتسنى لها الفرصة بعد لتعلم اللغة الإنكليزية بسبب الحجر الصحي المتتالي خلال أزمة الكورونا. حالياً، تتابع برنامج اجتماعي افتراضي Telelink حيث تتوفر لها فرص التواصل عبر الهاتف وتنمية علاقات الصداقة مع مهاجرين آخرين في أستراليا من ذوي الإعاقة البصرية ممن يتكلمون العربية.
Telelink هو أحد البرامج التي تقدمها مؤسسة Vision Australia.
How could you engage in social life in Australia and make new friends when you do not speak English and you have arrived at the beginning of lockdowns during the Covid19 crisis? Muntaha shares with us about her participation in regular social meetups via the phone. This program is introducing her to other migrants with similar lived experience and who live all over Australia.
About the storyteller
Muntaha lost her sight gradually in her early youth years in Iraq. She has been in Australia as a refugee since 2020 and has not had yet the opportunity to learn English due to the Covid 19 outbreak and the consecutive lockdowns. For the meantime, she is engaging in social life through the virtual social program Telelink that is allowing her to connect over the phone and cultivate friendship conversations with other migrants in Australia who speak Arabic and with whom she shares vision impairment.
Telelink is a program provided by Vision Australia.
