By whole-of-community we refer to engaging all levels of sectors, ensuring consistent messaging. CSUTR builds on the understanding that everyone, club officials, staff, coaches, referees, teachers, students, parents and young people, have a part to play in challenging racism in their communities.

This is a multi-site based project offering workshops and events for schools, sports clubs and community organisations.

This is a groundbreaking partnership between the Centre for Multicultural Youth, the Koorie Heritage Trust and the Immigration Museum.

Workshops

CMY will be offering free workshops to Morwell schools, sport clubs and the community around cultural awareness, allyship, upstander/bystander behaviour, how to have difficult conversations, anti-racism, identity and belonging.
