CLAIR held a Multicultural Study Tour organised for staff from Japanese local governments and organisations relating to internationalisation.
This year we not only picked places to visit according to the demand of the multicultural offices in Japanese local governments but also gave the participants more time to revise the visits.
The delegates learned about Australia’s progressive multicultural policy by listening to lectures given by people in charge of education, activities for disaster prevention awareness and settlement supports. Participants reported that the study tour was informative. They also noted that administrative agencies such as the Federal, State and Local Governments, non-profit organisations and educational institutions not only implement their roles respectively but also cooperated with each other, each organisation exercising ingenuity and new ideas.
Places visited during the study tour are as below. We thank you all for your cooperation and assistance.
