Cultural/religious organisations in Australia 

# data[].attributes.body
Many cultural/minority/religious groups have organisations that can be communicated with to encourage participation. Communicating with these organisations will also help with making sure events are proceeded with sensitivity towards cultures and religions and will create trust and acceptance in the multicultural festival.

As well as contributing to the food day, I also plan to be teaching the language. There will be 2 levels.

Level 1 for those new to the language, consists of simple phrases and how to read the language. Can be used to communicate with friends and or family, and can also be used overseas when travelling.

Level 2 for those who wish to speak more fluently. At this level we will get into deeper understanding of the language and how cultures influences the language.

We are inviting a guest teacher Hyunwoo Sun from the website Talk To Me In Korean (TTMIK). TTMIK is a website that is dedicated to teaching Korean to people from all around the world with over 500000 students in 199 countries. With so many avid Korean learners in Perth, having Hyunwoo  Sun here will attract more people in.

Partnership with local bookstores and sponsoring them in return is a great way to build relationships and support the community. Books celebrating multiculturalism such as Mem Foxes 'I'm Australian Too' could be given away as prizes in competition or raffles.

Less than a month ago, millions of Australians celebrated our national day. Among the most enthusiastic participants were our newest Australian citizens.

Thirteen thousand people enthusiastically took the pledge of commitment to this nation. I've seen people, wearing the national dress of their homeland, clasping an Australian flag and welling-up with tears as they promise to uphold and obey Australian values and laws.They serve as a reminder of what I term ''the genius of Australian multiculturalism''.

It is presently fashionable to declare multiculturalism dead or to blame it for crime and terrorism. Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, recently declared multiculturalism in her country had ''utterly failed''.

To some, multiculturalism is simply a diverse population, and a non-discriminatory immigration policy. These are the foundations of Australian multiculturalism, but it consists of much more.

Firstly, our multiculturalism is underpinned by respect for traditional Australian values.

Those who arrive in Australia are invited to continue to celebrate their cultures within a broader culture of freedom but, more importantly, with respect. However, if there is any inconsistency between these values and individual freedom and the rule of law, then these Australian values win out. They must.

This is related to the second element of the genius of Australian multiculturalism. Ours is citizenship-based; to enjoy the full benefits of Australian society, it is necessary to take a pledge of commitment.

The third element of the genius of Australian multiculturalism is political bipartisanship, particularly at its creation. The first Australian politician to publicly refer to multiculturalism as an aspiration was Al Grassby, immigration minister in the Whitlam government. But it was Malcolm Fraser who made it national policy.

Furthermore, the Australian model of multiculturalism is different. In Germany a requirement for "guest-workers" has driven an economic immigration policy.

Australia's postwar immigration policy was originally driven by economic imperatives, but governments came to recognise the benefits of inviting full community participation by our immigrant populations in return for a respect for, and embracing of, the cultures and customs they brought with them.

Many countries in Europe have nations within nations: significant communities living ''parallel lives'', perpetuating segregation based on ethnic, religious or cultural divides.

This seems to underline the benefits of the Australian approach.

If Australia is to be free and equal, then it will be multicultural; but if it is is to be multicultural it must remain free and equal.

Australian governments do not defend cultural practices and ideas inconsistent with our values of democracy, justice, equality and tolerance. Nor should we.

We have tried to instil a sense of belonging in Australia while encouraging the participation of all people. If values are not articulated, not put into practice and people do not feel part of society, this can lead to alienation and, ultimately, social disunity.

It seems to me, if you accept the benefits of a diverse population, you then have a choice: do you respect, embrace and welcome the cultures of those you have invited to make Australia home or do you shun them?

Do you invite their full participation or do you treat them as guest workers and hope they integrate - while all along suspecting they won't?

Multiculturalism is about inviting every individual member of society to be everything they can be and supporting each new arrival in overcoming whatever obstacles they face as they adjust to a new country and society and allowing them to flourish as individuals.

It is a matter of liberalism. A truly robust liberal society is a multicultural society.

During our multicultural journey, every wave of migrants has had its challenges. Each generation expresses some anxiety about the new, the unfamiliar.

Just like previous groups of migrants, the vast majority of the present group of migrants to Australia come here not to change our values, but because of them.

Bearing that in mind, it is right for Australians to be concerned about extremism - whether Islamic or otherwise. Intolerant interpretations of religion do not align with Australia's values, principles or laws.

It is counter-intuitive to assume that the majority of migrants want to change Australia. Allegations of migrants wanting to come here to convert the populace and turn it into a replica of their homelands ignore the truth: people come to Australia because, to them, Australia represents something better.

The last thing they want is Australia to change, to become less free, to become less democratic, to become less equal.

If Australia is to be free and equal, then it will be multicultural; but if it is is to be multicultural it must remain free and equal.

A charity that I think would be fantastic for us to partner with is the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. Money raised for this charity can go towards providing Indigenous Australian children with books to read. As an avid reader, I believe books are a fantastic tool to fight ignorance, racism and prejudice. Books have the ability to not only educate and provide entertainment, but also open people up to new worlds, ideas and cultures which is very reflective of our festival.

Reading Opens Doors to future opportunities and choices

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national charity working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remote Communities across Australia. We are Community-led, responding to requests from remote Communities for culturally relevant books, including early learning board books, resources, and programs to support Communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice.

Preparing for 2 days of the event

Day 1 (Food)
Lunch time (11:30 am) Food class
For this day we will be preparing two Korean dishes.
Grilled beef (Bulgogi) is a Korean dish which in Korean literally translates to fire (Bul or불) and beef (Gogi or 고기). This dish is marinated beef, typically rib eye, in soy sauce.
The second dish will be Spicy rice cake (떡볶이). This dish is comprised of cylindrical rice cakes and typically fish cake and hard boiled eggs.

A special guest will be invited to this day. Gabie Kook of Master Chef Korea. After cooking and eating, she will go on the next segment which will be showing and telling all the different types of kimchi, she will also teach everyone a basic kimchi recipe

Kimchi is a traditional side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables, most commonly napa cabbage and Korean radishes, with a variety of seasonings including chili powder, scallions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal and is known to have long life health benefits.

There is much effort put into this part as food is an integral part of any culture. From the start until now food has and always will be a fundamental part of bringing people in and understanding the stories of hardship and struggle and survival. We often just eat food but most of the time look over the story behind the creation of the food
