“I would recommend for anyone who has just landed to get involved and see that Sydney is full of ideas. I would highly recommend volunteering, it is a vert interesting atmosphere, and you can start exploring the cities unique side. I think it’s one of the best experiences that you can have, museums are good… but if you want to feel the culture, if you want to understand what’s up with the arts here, I think this is the best experience”
– Uiliia Zaitseva 2022 Volunteer
