Cultural Competence
Cultural Diversity E-Forum
A partnership between the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Institute for Cultural Diversity has led to a new E-Forum on human rights, www.culturaldiversity.net.au. This site explains what is happening in culturally diverse Australia - in human rights, the arts, justice, research and among agencies working in government, business and the community. The site is run by a not-for-profit, non-government company - the Institute for Cultural Diversity. Human rights are just one theme which the site covers. The cultural diversity website offers a new, exciting and secure space for informed debate, valued contributions, practical feedback, sustained consultations, and formulation of new and creative ideas and canvassing of diverse opinions. You can get involved by opening your own blog, posting information on your organisation, adding events to the calendar and more. If you have any questions, contact administrator@culturaldiversity.net.au. You can also follow the site on Twitter.
