Communities in Need: Educating Our Future

The “Communities in Need: Educating our Future” project aims to address the need to promote understandings of diversity and difference between refugee communities, migrant communities and the wider Victorian community.  This project will achieve greater cultural awareness, improved cultural tolerance and increased educational knowledge, broaden individual skill bases within the Darfuri Sudanese community and provide opportunities to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity.   

Description of Major Activities

DVD Creation
The DVD Creation and Launch project will be run to create, shoot and produce a DVD which can be used in presentations at schools and universities to promote understanding of the Darfur Sudanese community and the context in which they have come to Australia. 

Education Program
The Education Program includes the development of teaching materials and presentations in schools and universities for the duration of the project.
