serve to educate, create debate and awareness of the impact, on
Australia, of nuclear testing, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste and
its disposal.
In light of recent intolerance shown towards the Muslim community,
another priority under this program is arts projects that encourage
respect and understanding of our cultural diversity, particularly
focusing on the rights of Australians of Middle-Eastern descent
to maintain their cultural and religious practices. Projects should
aim to further assist the wider community to understand and embrace
the rich cultural diversity of all Australians.
Prospective
applicants must provide a rationale for the project, a relevant
abridged arts biography of participants, a brief strategy for publicising
the project and examples of how the art form will be utilised in
