Some recent projects Dulwich Centre Foundation has been involved with include facilitating an international,  cross-cultural conference in Kigali, Rwanda, creating  a series of web resources to assist people experiencing suicidal thoughts and those bereaved by suicide, and publishing a book of  First Nations narrative practice and community work, which illustrates the diverse, creative and hopeful ways that First Nations practitioners are ‘yarning with a purpose’.
