Red Cross Y Challenge – celebrating diversity
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has partnered with the Australian Red Cross to create the Y Challenge – celebrating diversity program.
Y Challenge – celebrating diversity gives teachers and parents ideas and activities to help young people learn about how mutual understanding leads to respect and acceptance in Australia's culturally diverse society.
The program, designed for young people 9 to 17 years, is supported by a manual, online activities and resources for teachers, parents, individuals and groups.
Visit the Red Cross Y Challenge website for more information and to register for the program.
