In this episode I talk to Dewi Cooke, who is the CEO of The Social Studio in Melbourne. The Social Studio is a social enterprise which was founded in 2009 by a group of community members, local designers and fashion industry professionals, who joined together with a common idea: to embrace up-cycled fashion as a vehicle for social change and uplift youth from migrant and refugee backgrounds. The Social Studio have grown from a small enterprise to having a shop and an accredited course in textile manufacturing. Dewi talks about how The Social Studio adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic, how they foster a sense of inclusion in their space, and their future ambitions. 

Social enterprises operate first and foremost to provide opportunities to those in need.  One way they can do so is in the name itself: by providing social connection. The Social Studio in Collingwood does exactly that by providing education and teaching opportunities to refugee women from a wide range of backgrounds. CEO Dewi Cooke details how the Studio's free fashion school not only provides refugee women a path to a meaningful and satisfying career, but also fosters social connections for its students and teachers. Teacher and student Muhubo Sulieman shares her experience since joining the studio, including her first exhibition at a gallery, showcasing work inspired by her early life in Somalia. Hear how Dewi, Muhubo and the Social Studio connect diverse communities in the latest episode of Getting it Right with Craig Foster. +++ Getting it Right is a Jobsbank podcast, produced by Deadset Studios, hosted by Craig Foster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
