The voices of culturally diverse young people

To celebrate National Youth Week, the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) presents the voices of culturally diverse young people in Victoria in Engaging Our Youth: Our Future - a report on the findings of the VMC Multicultural Youth Forums.

Conducted across metropolitan and regional Victoria from December 2014 to June 2015, the forums explored social cohesion and the barriers to young people feeling accepted.

The findings reveal a range of issues for culturally diverse young people and their experiences of exclusion, but also the richness of their insights and solutions for social change as future leaders of social cohesion in our state.
