This podcast episode will delve into the life of our guest, Jo Prego, a Spanish Australian residing in Canberra, Australia since 1970. Our focus for today's episode will be on discussing the racism that Jo has experienced or witnessed in Canberra and the improvements that have been made to address these issues. Jo's experiences of childhood bullying and discrimination highlight the prevalent racism and discrimination during the 1970s, a challenging time for many immigrants. Additionally, his journey as an architecture student at the University of Canberra serves as a source of motivation and inspiration for current and future UC students.
