Cultural Infusion is Australia’s leading culture-in-education provider, founded in 2003 to promote intercultural harmony throughout Australia and worldwide. The ability for individuals and groups to move between and respect cultures other than their native one is important for personal and community development in an increasingly globalised world. Through fun, interactive and educational experiences and products, we equip people with skills to communicate effectively across cultures. Cultural Infusion partners with government and corporate bodies, community groups, schools and NGOs to deliver high-quality programs rich in diversity. Harnessing the power of art, education and technology through our suite of cultural events, workshops, training courses, digital tools, consulting services and school incursions, we deliver programs in Azerbaijan, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Tanzania, Pakistan, UK and the US, and to more than 350,000 students annually in Australia. In 2017, Cultural Infusion launched our Living Culture Program at our Centres in Pakistan and Tanzania. This program places culture bearers into communities as a way of successfully transmitting and sustaining intangible cultural heritage. Our work has won 15 international awards, including the UNAOC's Intercultural Innovation Award. Cultural Infusion is an official partner of the Australian National Commission for UNESCO.
