The Society for African American Cultural Awareness (SAACA) was formed in 1989 by a group of approximately eight African-Americans with a common goal. SAACA is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the level of cultural awareness in Jackson-Madison County and the surrounding areas. SAACA operates under the guide lines that are set forth in its by-laws, and has as its four (4) main objectives to: 1. Promote a positive awareness and appreciation of African American culture. 2. Educate and entertain members of the African American community in particular and the larger community in general.

Cultural Awareness Days (CA-Days) is a truly collaborative effort. Our purpose is to encourage, promote and foster an atmosphere of awareness and understanding concerning issues of race and ethnicity. We believe that by working together we can help alter the misperceptions that exist among the many diverse people living and working throughout the Greater Hartford region. Each year CA-Days celebrates all of its accomplishments at an event in the City of Hartford. This culmination is a family experience for people of all backgrounds. CA-Days is a historical and cultural celebration that showcases the art, music, dance and cuisine of the diverse ethnic groups within the Greater Hartford region. The event also encourages on-going dialogue on racial issues that helps to strengthen relationships between neighborhoods and ethnic communities in our Capital City. The first historic event happened in June 2003 at the Hartford Civic Center, due to inclement weather. It was extremely successful, hosting approximately 2,000 people and over 45 cultural groups. Historically, CA-Days was born out of an action project through NCCJ's Conversations on Race. A small group of dedicated individuals who are part of Healing the Heart of Hartford, Inc. networked for several years trying to educate business leaders, not-for-profits, cultural groups, and individuals on the meaning of Cultural Awareness Days. Hence, CA-Days has now become an annual event and on-going project that will benefit the City of Hartford for years to come.

The mission of the Greater Augusta Arts Council is to advance the arts and thus, enrich the quality of life in Augusta and the Central Savannah River Area. From the youngest child to their great, great grandparents and every socioeconomic and ethnic background we are touching lives everyday. The smallest events are those that make us the most proud. The smiles of the children in our ArtScape Camp, the joy from the performers on the ethnic stage at Arts in the Heart or the elderly man taking his first painting lesson he has wished for since childhood. Our community is built one by one in diverse individuals making up the incredible region we call our home. The GAAC has been here for 35 years weaving the arts into our lives. The Greater Augusta Arts Council has a strong history in our community, and with your support, we can continue growing and expanding the vision of the arts community in the CSRA. Our wish for you is to become involved in and support the arts.

The MMG Orchestra Residence Program provides multicultural music performances and the opportunity to develop new symphonic music with a multicultural focus as a medium to promote cultural awareness and global understanding. The MMG Orchestra works in collaboration with folk musicians on projects that develop the skills, understanding and aesthetic perception of the multi-ethnic communities in urban settings with the use of symphonic music with a multicultural perspective. This aspect provides the opportunity to expose the audiences to the rudiments and history of one or more musical genres from a particular region of the world, in addition to prepare music presentations with community artists and the MMG Orchestra.

MDAA also offers fee-for-service training in disability and cultural awareness through our training program 'mdaa cultural abilities'. We became a registered training organisation in 2004 and we publish a training calendar each year which includes courses leading to nationally recognised qualifications as well as other training - see our latest calendar for details. We also tailor training specifically for organisations or groups who prefer this. We offer services the opportunity to do a cultural competence audit of their own service to work out how accessible their service is to people from a NESB with disability and families. We offer training in cultural competence for staff working in disability services and other mainstream. Community Voices also make themselves available so organisations can hear first hand about the experiences of people from a NESB with disability and our families. MDAA does not interpret or translate material for other organisations but we often use interpreters and translators in our work and we encourage other services to do this too. We provide training and information on how to use interpreters and how to get good translations. 8. What is 'disability'? A very good question. The answer depends on who you are and where you are from. When people think about disability lots of labels and classifications spring to mind: physical disability; intellectual disability; mental illness; sensory disability (vision/ hearing impairment); neurological disability; autism; learning disability; developmental delay; etc; etc. All of these concepts are culturally based - we are not born with any knowledge or awareness of what disability means - we acquire it as we go along through life and our views often change with experience. In 2003-4 we asked 10 different communities in NSW this question and we received quite a range of answers. People from different cultural backgrounds have different beliefs about disability and different attitudes towards people with disability. Not all people from the same cultural background share the same beliefs and attitudes. Some people believe disability is a gift from god; others believe it results from something an ancestor did many years earlier; some believe it is associated with something that happened to the mother during pregnancy; others believe it is a medical problem that can be cured, either now or some time in the future. For many people in Australia and elsewhere disability is associated with stigma and shame and this results in people being hidden within the family or taken to live in an institution, unable to participate in community life. Through the hard work of people with disability, our families and advocates over many years these negative attitudes are changing in Australia and the NSW government has stated its commitment to assisting people with disability to live in the community by closing down large institutions and providing other forms of support. To see the variety of responses people have to disability go to Opening Doors Publications. There are also some interesting philosophical debates about this question: Is disability an individual or family problem or does disability arise mainly because of the way societies function? Why do we as a society focus on what a person cannot do rather than what they can? Why do we label people 'disabled'? Why do we design buildings, forms of transport and services that exclude some members of the community? If all buildings, transport and services were designed to accommodate the needs of everyone in the community, everyone would be included as fully as possible and able to participate as equal members of the community. If people with disability work and pay taxes like everyone else why shouldn't our needs be accommodated just like everyone else's? What would a society look like if everyone's needs were taken into account by educators, planners, architects, engineers, designers, builders, governments, health services, etc? What would it take to make Australia a society like that? 9. Why does MDAA only work with people from a NESB - doesn't everyone with disability need advocacy support?
