About Our Podcast – SameSame Different – This Is Western Sydney
This podcast series leverages the beauty, richness and uniqueness of cultural diversity, and highlight the triumph and strength of participants who represent cultural diversity. We seek to highlight the triumphs and shared humanity across cultural groups through our podcast series, to break the stereotype of the quintessential Australian, and strengthen and improve attitudes towards cultural diversity.
Meet Bashar Hanna. Bashar joins Western Sydney MRC on our new venture of the discovery of Western Sydney and its rich diversity through storytelling and the amazing world of podcasts.
His love and respect for art, culture and language are evident in all that he undertakes. Bashar believes that music and art allow us to connect with the world and one another, and are a method for promoting wellness, a sense of self-expression and healing.
We are thankful to have Bashar as part of our community, and his perseverance to connect, support and relieve the lives of those living with trauma is aspirational.
We hope you enjoy our Same Same Different Podcast.
In this episode, Bashar shares his time living and working in Iraq, a country that he loved dearly, to then having to leave and his time rebuilding his life in Australia.
