Good News Stories Needed!

CMY knows that there are amazing people out there across Australia working and volunteering towards offering sporting opportunities to newly arrived and refugee young people. We would like to hear from any organisation, club, community or individual that can tell us a story about multicultural young people getting into sport and recreation. CMY wants to spread the word about these great stories in the hope that others might be spurred on to follow suit.

We know you’re busy, so only we need only 10 minutes of your time. Download our pro forma, fill it in and return it to us; if you have already written the story in your own way, please forward it on to us. Please feel free to add your organisation or club logo and any photos you have permission to use in the story.

Where will it be used? The story/case study may be used in upcoming CMY Sports Newsletters, CMY Multicultural Sports Network Meetings, the CMY Sports Website and in our training within the community and sports sector around cultural awareness.

The CMY Sport and Recreation team is also working with the Australian Sports Commission and Four Diegos Media to develop an online coaching website resource for diverse communities. Part of the website will be dedicated to case studies, vid casts and interviews about newly arrived and refugee young people getting into sport & recreation. Your story may appear for the rest of Australia to learn from.
