Ten point NZ Diversity Action Programme
The Ten steps
1. Develop a network of people and organizations that share a vision
and a concern for harmonious relationships in a diverse and inclusive
New Zealand.
2. Establish a forum through the internet, with information pages
and a web-portal to new and existing sites about New Zealand’s
diverse communities.
3. Create a centre for the study and promotion of cultural diversity
that is able to lead research, inform debate, and connect people
in different institutions and organizations.
4. Conduct a public conversation about our constitutional, legislative
and institutional framework to protect human rights including diversity.
5. Focus on education and youth through a review and reform of the
school curriculum to ensure that civics, values, languages, histories
and cultures are part of the core curriculum and that there are
high quality resources to support it.
6. Foster diversity in the media so that they reflect and promote
the diversity of our society, both through greater diversity in
the mainstream media and through the strengthening of Maori, Pacific
and other ethnic media to give voice to all New Zealanders.
7. Support the successful settlement of refugees and migrants, through
the development of migrant settlement plans for every local area
by local authorities in conjunction with iwi, migrant, community
and business groups, as well as health, education, police and other
government service providers.
8. Celebrate diversity through cultural festivals and diversity
in the arts, with increased central and local government support
for communities, artists and performers.
9. Provide connections to our heritage through the involvement of
all ethnic communities in historic, cultural and natural conservation
and telling the diverse stories about our land and our histories.
10. Promote dialogue and exchange between people of different views,
cultures and faiths.
