About the Network and its Purpose
The Food for Thought Network was founded in 2001 by Varvara Ioannou. It has a development focus and runs quarterly forums on current issues pertaining to women in the areas of work, family, health and wellbeing as well as language and culture.
The Food for Thought Network is an incorporated body and consists of a team of women of diverse disciplines, ages, interests and experience. Inspired by our ancestors, we take responsibility to share and spread knowledge in creating a better world and improving quality of life.
Purpose:
-
To create an egalitarian environment where everyone is encouraged to participate and contribute;
-
to share knowledge and collective experiences in the areas of work, family, language, culture, health and well-being;
-
to acknowledge and celebrate our cultural heritage and embrace the diversity of other cultures;
-
to create opportunities for continual learning, self-expression and empowerment;
-
to provide opportunities for people to meet and support each other;
-
to acknowledge, celebrate and capitalise the talents of our members; and
-
to advocate on CALD women's issues.
in a fun, inspiring and enriching way.
