Cultural Diversity and Inclusive Practice (CDIP)

CDIP Project

The Flinders University CDIP Project supports our commitment to sustain and enhance a culturally inclusive environment. Cultural diversity refers to the similarities and differences among cultures across ethnic, religious and language boundaries, for example. Flinders University promotes inclusive teaching and internationalisation in all areas of teaching and research through discussion forums on the internationalisation of the curriculum, teaching diverse learners and cultural diversity in the workplace.
