The aim this grant opportunity is to support the coordination and administration of the Cultural Educators and Cultural Mentors Network across Australia from July 2019 until December 2021. The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are to provide a national forum to build capacity and acknowledge the cultural and professional needs of Cultural Educators and Cultural Mentors and enable networking opportunities for all Cultural Educators and Cultural Mentors.
