Community Access
For many vulnerable communities, experiencing The World's Festival feels entirely out of reach. We are changing that.
Through our Community Access Program, we partner with local grassroots organisations to gift hundreds of tickets every year to those who need inspiration and connection the most.
In recent years we have partnered with the likes of: Adelaide Secondary School of English, Australian Refugee Association, Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music, Department of Education and Child Development, Housing Australia, Maree, Nepabunna and Copley Indigenous Community, and Survivors of Torture, Trauma Assistance and Rehab Services (STTARS), Two Way Street, Guide Dogs, Carers SA and Novita to offer a vital moment of joy, a sense of belonging, and a transformative escape from everyday hardships.
Applications open in November, for more information please contact tickets@womadelaide.com.au.
If you’d like to help us share the magic of the festival, please donate to The WOMADelaide Foundation.
"I attended WOMADelaide on Monday with a refugee friend of mine. Neither of us had been to WOMADelaide before and with his limited English, I found it interesting trying to explain the event to him. It was a great afternoon ... It was really nice to see him enjoying himself; almost as if he was able to take 'time out' from the 'refugee situation' for a few hours. Music certainly brings people together; people from all walks and places of life. Thanks to WOMADelaide for the tickets, the afternoon was a blessing to both of us."
