Inclusiveness for all:
• Cultural inclusiveness addresses and supports the needs of people from diverse cultures,
What I have and values their unique contribution.
learnt & • The invisibility of culture in educational settings can have unintended consequences.
Despite the best of intentions, teachers and students might be unaware that what they say,
do or teach in the classroom could seem strange or offensive to others. This notion can also
possible be applied to everyday contexts.
solutions • Inclusive practices ensures that no individual is marginalised or made to feel isolated and
mistreated.
• Encouraging inclusive practices in light of multiculturalism gives students the skills to
participate in a stronger and safer communities. They consider a wide variety of cultures
and perspectives both individually and socially, in an effort to enhance their knowledge and
awareness so they are able to freely express and participate in the world around them.
Education:
• Multicultural education is not a discrete learning area. Multicultural education helps students develop in depth knowledge and awareness of
their own and other cultures, and develop an understanding of, and skills to interact in, intercultural settings
• Students develop an appreciation of the importance of local, national and international interdependence in social, environmental, economic
and political arenas and an understanding that mutual support in these areas is vital to local and global harmony.
• The quality and availability of education is not equitable, and the effectiveness of multicultural education relies on motivation to learn and
understand content and is dependant on school policy and approaches. This is a limiting factor to achieving inclusion for all.
Respectful relationships:
• When genuine acknowledgement, appreciation of, and interest in diversity is experienced, respectful relationships develop. Respectful
relationships extend beyond individuals to include aspects of special significance to particular cultures.
• Mutual respect and an honest understanding of respectful relationships that include aspects of special significance to particular cultures is not
always achieved. As such, this can impact aspects of cultural acceptance and inclusivity.
