Research statement

Background The study found that the most interculturally capable students attended schools that: i) have a strong, explicit and well-established culture of racial, religious and cultural equality in all areas of its operations; and ii) actively integrated the knowledge, attitudes and skills required for respectful engagement with diversity across all members of the school community, including students, teachers and parents Contribution The finding reinforces the importance of a comprehensive, connected, schoolwide approach to intercultural education but also underlines the imperative for schools to attend to the role of students’ outside-of-school experiences in formulating programmes and practices to equip students of all ages with the intercultural capabilities needed for a culturally diverse, global future. Significance This project/ project report directly impacted the Victorian Curriculum and the Intercultural capability
