Using the Media to Promote Multiculturalism

Grants of up to $3,000 may be provided to support projects that provide prominent exposure of a clear message over a prolonged period to a big readership or audience.

The projects could be in the form of:

• short but regular community announcements, messages or articles or
• extended programs or articles aimed at building broader understanding of the issues underpinning the campaign, or both.

These grants will, for example, help the media to call on listeners and readers to:

• celebrate and value multiculturalism;
• learn about cultures of all South Australians;
• accept all South Australians from all backgrounds and respect their right to maintain and express their own cultures and faiths;
• take a stand against discrimination based on culture or faith;
• recognise the benefits of language learning for all; and
• promote understanding and respect across all ethnic communities of the special place of the many indigenous languages and cultures in Australia.
