From 27 November to 2 December, we held the annual Multicultural Seminar in Sydney.
This program is designed to help municipal employees and staff from regional international associations learn firsthand about multicultural policies and advanced initiatives in Australia, with the aim of assisting in the planning and implementation of multicultural coexistence measures in Japan. The CLAIR Sydney office welcomed 13 participants from various regions of Japan. Participants visited a total of nine institutions, including government agencies such as the New South Wales Department of Education and Cumberland City, as well as schools and NGOs, to learn about their advanced policies, initiatives, and services.
Through presentations and Q&A sessions at the visited institutions, participants were able to hear directly from the staff. They gained valuable firsthand information and were impressed by Australia’s advanced multicultural services and policies.
The CLAIR Sydney office will continue to provide information on Australia’s multicultural policy initiatives to Japanese local governments through this program.
