Aristidis Tsoulakos appointed to Victoria’s Multicultural Youth Network

·

Aristidis Tsoulakos has been appointed to the Victorian Multicultural Commission’s (VMC) new Multicultural Youth Network at an event October 6.

The event was hosted by the VMC’s Youth Commissioner Luna Folly and Community Representative Commissioner Abi Akinbiyi, and in attendance were the Victorian Minister for Multicultural Affairs the Hon. Ros Spence, VMC Chairperson Viv Nguyen, Deputy Chairperson Bwe Thay, Commissioners, parents and stakeholders.

Aristidis is among 20 people aged between 16 and 25 who were selected to represent their region of Victoria and formally advise the VMC on issues and challenges impacting young multicultural Victorians. 

All of the successful youth have multicultural backgrounds, with some having lived-experience as a refugee or person seeking asylum.

Aristidis was appointed as the representative for the Eastern Metropolitan region of Victoria, which include the councils of Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash, Whitehorse and Yarra Rangers.

His experience includes working with the Monash Youth Council and broader Greek community of Melbourne.

Aristidis told The Greek Herald he “feels honoured to have been selected amongst the many other young culturally diverse individuals.”

“I am looking forward to working closely with the multicultural commission and Ministers office to identify opportunities to improve outcomes for community members,” Aristidis added.

This appointment comes as Aristidis also won in the Youth Leadership category of the Sir John Monash Awards last week for his work with the Monash Youth Council and voluntary work with many local community groups.
