The Migrant Information Centre (Eastern Melbourne) (MIC) received funding from the City of Whitehorse Community Grants Program 2003/2004 for the Whitehorse Youth Project. The aim of the project was to increase access and participation in local sports clubs of young people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds to enhance social inclusion.
To support the creation of a more responsive sports sector to better meet the needs of CALD youth, the Whitehorse Youth Project included five major steps:
♦ Information session for interested sports club officials about cultural needs, barriers to access and inclusion for young people from CALD backgrounds,
♦ Recruitment and training of young people from CALD backgrounds to conduct surveys of participating sports clubs,
♦ Analysis of surveys,
♦ Preparing a final report with strategies for implementation by sports clubs to improve accessibility for CALD young people, and
♦ Implementation of activities.
This report is an analysis of the information obtained through the surveys conducted with local sporting clubs and recommendations for future directions in the implementation of activities to achieve the aim of the project.
