Different People Different Voices Project is aimed at building cultural tolerance through the development of resources created by young people, for young people! During Stage One, DPDVP the My Australia Our Australia board game and the Inner West Youth Services Map. The My Australia Our Australia board game encourages young people to discuss issues of cultural bullying, isolation and cultural into
lerance. A pilot was held at several schools who provided a highly positive response to this game. By participating in DPDVP, your school and students will gain:
- An education package that addresses issues of cultural intolerance by exploring topic areas of identity, sense of belonging and cultural isolation
- Further skills that will increase capacity to address factors that lead to cultural bullying and intolerance
- Leadership skills through peer to peer facilitation
- Techniques that will help to improve youth coping and response mechanisms against cultural intolerance through the education sessions
Interested in getting involved? If you have a creative edge, a flair for design and are passionate about fighting cultural intolerance, we want YOU to help us redevelop our board game! We need your help in adding some new funky designs and interactive ideas to make the board game an even better resource for young people.
