Exciting news!Today marks a significant milestone for multiculturalism in Australia with the release of the Multicultural Framework Review. This comprehensive framework offers a visionary blueprint for fostering an inclusive and diverse future for everyone living in Australia.MYAN is thrilled to see in the Government’s response the recognition from the Framework Review Panel that “Young people, who will inherit and refine Australia’s multicultural future, must be at the heart of policy-making considerations, and were a key focus of the Review.”We are also pleased to see that “meeting the unique needs of young people” is embedded in the three core principles of the Review.This reflects the core of MYAN’s work; that the voices, perspectives, and aspirations of young people from diverse backgrounds are pivotal to shaping a vibrant, cohesive, and equitable society.We are incredibly proud of MYAN National Manager, Rana Ebrahimi, for her invaluable contributions as part of the advisory panel, and Kate Yeung for leading our youth consultations on the framework review to ensure that the framework reflects the perspectives and aspirations of multicultural youth across the nation.Read the full Multicultural Framework Review and the Government's response here: shorturl.at/2HJe2
