Profile
Cultural Infusion is a not-for-profit organisation that works in education, youth, communities and the arts to promote cultural harmony and well-being for a more cohesive and richer society.

Cultural Infusion is dedicated to promoting equality, social justice and encouraging a broader understanding of culture across our community for the benefit of all. Over the past six years we have worked with diverse tools to enable the greatest number of people possible to experience vibrant cultural and inter-cultural arts and social initiatives.

As an organisation that promotes inter-cultural understanding we have a strong belief that as a diverse society living in a globalised world the ability to move between and respect cultures other than our native one is an invaluable asset for personal and community development.

Vision
Our vision is an Australia that is culturally and socially cohesive that values the richness of our collective cultural heritage and encourages all people to be creative and imagine a tomorrow that is better than today.

Mission
To build cultural harmony and well-being through contributing to a society that:

• values intercultural understanding;
• utilises its’ cultural richness to benefit society as a whole; and
• uses cultural and artistic expression as a means of promoting social cohesion.

In achieving our mission we use a range of tools to engage, educate and entertain including:

• Arts – projects, productions, events and concerts that promote intercultural interaction and understanding.
• Community – projects, events and programs that empower communities to work together.
• Education – incursions, workshops and programs that provide students with experiences of culture and creativity that are designed increase intercultural awareness.
• Youth – programs, projects and events that encourage young people (especially those that are disengaged) to be healthy, active and culturally aware community members.
