I have found a website from Australia which I hope has a wealth of information. It is called Early Childhood Australia. It can be found at http://earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/every_child_magazine/about_every_child.html. I believe this website has reading matter and ideas for many early childhood educators. There have been several articles, which I quickly found on diversity and strengthening cultural connections.

In Australia there are Aboriginal people and immigrants from many country in the Far East
As well as people from European countries. Australia has not suffered these last few years from the economic cutbacks we have had so I do not think that will be a big mention in their newsletter. Instead they are working on creative ways to have a good learning environment for all people.

A quote from the magazine :

‘The connections we make, the actions we take, and the questions we ask each other
are vital to how we develop a competent approach to culture in its many variations.’
