Cultural and Ethnic Network
We want to work across agencies with existing ethnic networks to share information and to support our peers that identify with differing cultures and ethnicities. We also want to share our knowledge and information about our cultures to influence policies, improve inclusion in our workplaces, the workforce, and in the delivery of information and services to the people we serve.
What we're about
As we are a new network, we are still looking at working with our members to create and develop events to help our members. Some of our planned activities include:
- connecting people from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds
- supporting cultural and ethnic networks starting up
- sharing information and resources, including events, toolkits
- holding events to acknowledge significant cultural and ethnic dates (eg, Chinese New Year)
- sharing event information and encourage participation
- developing resources for sharing.
Why you should join us?
We provide members with peer support and advice surrounding cultural and ethnic topics in the public sector.
We provide information sharing about activities in agency cultural and ethnic networks and relevant public sector initiatives.
As we are a new network, we are looking to expand and grow alongside our members.
