CCOEI is a not-for-profit, non-political and non-religious organisation. It adheres to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and represents the multicultural interests of the communities within the 7 Local Government Areas of the Eastern Metro Region. The CCOEI team are a passionate group of volunteers, dedicated to fostering equity, inclusion, and community harmony across the Eastern Region

CCOEI's mission is to effectively address unique challenges faced by migrants and refugees in our region, while fostering genuine community connections. This Community Picnic is an initiative designed to promote meaningful community engagement, and what better way to start off a productive and meaningful year, than some picnic in the park fun!

Please join us for the first of what we hope will be an annual Community Picnic in the Park. Community Chefs will prepare a little of their cultural cuisine and we encourage guests to bring a plate to share. Food both nourishes our body and our spirit. So bring along a plate and an appetite and join us for a wonderful combination of delicious food, tranquil surroundings, and fun at Antonio Park, Mitcham for CCOEI's Picnic in the Park.

We will not be able to meat specific dietary requirements, so if you have allergies, please ensure you bring along a suitable dish. Equally, to assist guests with allergies, please ensure you bring along a list of ingredients of your dish.

We look forward to seeing you there
