Melbourne's culture card program develops [04.12.2009]
The Committee will launch a new project in 2010, to encourage international students to connect to Victoria’s culture and lifestyle with support from the Victorian Government.
The Committee for Melbourne with the Department for Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD) has recently hosted information sessions for education organisations and identified possible destination organisations to discuss participation and next steps.
The Committee for Melbourne has been working with Destination Melbourne, DIIRD, Tourism Victoria and the State Government to deliver the Culture Card initiative which will begin in March 2010.
Under the Program, international students will be welcomed to a number of attractions and events in Victoria to build their understanding and engagement in our way of life, and deepen their connection with our State.
The Culture Card initiative was announced by Premier John Brumby as part of the Victorian Government’s new Thinking Global: Victoria’s Action Plan for International Education in September this year.
For more information on the Culture Card initiative, please contact our Policy Officer, Ms Amelia Jalland on (03) 9667 8114 or ajalland@melbourne.org.au
