Conclusion

=Conclusion... =

Congratulations! You have all worked very hard, and have had some very big questions to think about. You deserve a lot of praise for all the work you've done. You gained background information and effectively used a variety of resources to work through a lot of information in order to improve your knowledge on these very important topics of Cultural Diversity and Immigration. You developed expertise in one particular immigration family and stage, and for some of you had to discover some facts that were not very nice. At times, you must have felt confused with ideas spinning every which way. That's part of the fun that goes with investigating such a huge and important topic!

Remember back to the beginning of the Quest when you started to think about your feelings and what you thought you might learn over the course of these 6 weeks. Now it’s time to revisit your initial thoughts and feelings and see how these have changed and developed. Please take out the “What I expect to find out – What I found out” handout and complete the ‘After’ column. Did you feel what you thought you might feel? Did you learn what you wanted to learn about? Has the Quest changed how you think about Cultural Diversity and Immigration? What about multiculturalism?

And finally, are you able to step away from this Quest with a greater understanding of what immigrants to Australia go through often before they have even arrived on our shores and what these different cultures bring to the overall cultural identity of Australia?
