NAV Bal Chautari
NAV BAL CHAUTARI is a major initiative of Nepalese Association of Victoria (NAV), which commenced in 2013. Bal Chautari (which literally means a gathering place for children) is a children’s activity program to teach them Nepalese language, arts and culture to Australian-born Nepalese children. Bal Chautari started as a small program initiated by few parents to expose and teach Nepali language and dances to their kids in Preston (Victoria). Soon after its launch, NAV received overwhelming support and response from parents and the community to expand it further to other suburbs. NAV is continuously finding resources to meet its demand.
Bal Chautari runs its school program with participating in various cultural activities. Our Baal Chautari Kids performance are very sought after in Nepalese community events. Baal Chautari also runs at the Darebin Intercultural Centre every week from 10 am to 12 pm.
