Discovering Diversity

The Discovering Diversity program utilises artists from diverse backgrounds, encouraging intercultural dialogue in a fun, flexible and informative way to support your school curriculum in areas such as Social Education, LOTE, Performing Arts and PE.

Our programs are interactive, engaging and encourage intercultural dialogue while being fun and inspiring. Students gain an insight into the cultural heritage of our diverse nation while they explore the history, traditions and languages of various cultures.

There is a growing awareness of the need to encourage students to respect Cultural diversity, reflected in the Melbourne Declaration signed by all Australian Education Ministers in 2008.

An ability to accept difference can only come when we endeavour to understand other cultures and appreciate other people’s belief and lifestyles. Artistic pursuits provide a great way of supporting diversity and removing global barriers through connectivity and understanding. They are also an effective tool in encouraging dialogue about the harmful impacts of race-based discrimination and the benefits of diversity.
