Submission to Multicultural Framework Review: Shaping the future of Australian multiculturalism: realising potential through multicultural youth participation

This submission is a response to the Multicultural Framework Review. It focuses on ensuring that the framework reflects the experiences and needs of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. The submission highlights the importance of a contemporary definition of multiculturalism that includes youth perspectives, addresses racism and discrimination, and promotes diversity in leadership. MYAN provides recommendations for creating a more inclusive and equitable society through education, policy reforms, and investment in culturally responsive services. The submission also advocates for the establishment of a Multicultural Act and stronger support for young people to participate in leadership and decision-making processes.
