Last Thursday night in Launceston was one to remember, as Relationships Australia Tasmania joined in the fun at the Veltic Australia Games Night. The room was filled with warmth, laughter and plenty of great shared moments.
What makes VELTIC (Volunteers Enriching Lives Through Intercultural Communication) so special is its focus on connection. At its heart is the belief that positive social interactions especially between people from different cultures and life experiences can help build a more peaceful and just world. Creating spaces where friendships can grow isn’t just meaningful, it’s powerful! It’s exactly the kind of environment where understanding deepens, barriers come down, and community thrives – showing a perfect example of how we become a connected and respectful Tasmania.
A big thank you to Debbie and Laura Brumby and all the VELTIC volunteers and community for hosting such a welcoming, fun and inclusive night. Shoutout as well to Danny and Kris for being such good sports (and fun gaming partners) and to Dylan Guardia and his lovely Dad for the great food and venue at Tio Rico.
Events like this remind us that strong, positive connections really can change lives… and maybe even the world.
