THE CHALLENGE
Melbourne’s growing immigrant population finds it difficult to keep up with their cultural traditions due to lack of succinct information and limited availability of their native resources. This increasing disconnect from one’s culture can have social implications on individuals and groups.
THE DESIGN INTERVENTION
The Walking Sun, a name associated with Australian multiculturism, is a digital database that provides Melburnians, especially migrants residing away from their homelands with information on availability of festive food items and events with the help of refined search. While this allows migrants to connect with their cultures, it also helps boost small businesses and also support migrant-owned businesses.
