'The Meaning of Home'
Cate Jones, Shelter SA's Project
Officer is initiating a project that explores the
idea of 'home' and what 'home' represents to a broad range of
individuals. She is interested in gathering a big collection of
people's ideas about 'the meaning of home' and would like to
explore what 'home' represents for individuals including as many
culturally diverse people as possible all over the world.
She is
asking the question: What is 'home'? What do you think creates
the feeling of 'home'? Is 'home' the place you live, or is
'home' another place connected your history, heritage, friends,
family or country?
For
more information or if you would like to contribute to the
project with your own view of the Meaning of Home, please visit:
