The Role of Multiculturalism and Languages Education
Abstract
The cultural benefits of developing South Australia’s multicultural resources
may be summarised as enrichment – enrichment of the soul, the
mind and the consciousness. This results in the development of a nation
that is characterised by its openness, its vitality and its dynamism.
Importantly, a diversity of cultural inputs contributes to the development
of a society of a distinctive character, thereby enabling Australia to project
itself to the world community as a powerful cultural entity in its own
right and not merely a derivative, colonial one.
