Teacher's Resource Kit

Start classroom conversations about multicultural Victoria

Victoria's is a multicultural success story. According to the most recent 2021 Census, over half of all 6.5 million Victorians have at least one parent born overseas. We also:

  • speak 290 languages
  • have 314 different ancestries
  • settle around 4,000 refugees in our state each year
  • see around 10,000 people arrive in our state seeking asylum each year.

The role of the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) is to support, celebrate and advocate for our state's multicultural communities, including young multicultural people living in Victoria. One of the ways we connect with young multicultural people is through Victoria's diverse schools.

Cultural diversity touches us all, and we want to start conversations about it in our schools and our communities. To support this, we have designed two Teacher's Resource Kits to provide inspiration and assistance to bring cultural diversity to life in your classroom.
