An Introduction for Teachers

The Developing Intercultural Understanding Program aims to develop participants' notions of interculturality and knowledge of intercultural understanding within the context of studies of Asia in English, Languages, SOSE and the Arts. The Program explores links between intercultural understanding and current State and Territory curriculum documents and national curriculum priorities and provides practical classroom activities that explore interculturality across learning areas and year levels.
