| Title | 2003 Multicultural Mosaic Conference |
| Body | Greetings from Australia! Thursday 13th Friday 14th November 2003 Crowne Plaza Newcastle Cnr Merewether Street & Wharf Road, Newcastle NSW 2300 The inaugural 2003 Multicultural Mosaic Conference will provide an invaluable forum for all who are interested in the value of multicultural texts, particularly in educational settings. The theme of the conference, "Don't Judge a Book by its Colour" acknowledges the perceived impediments for the inclusion of multicultural texts in learning environments. Multicultural Mosaic aims to alleviate such paralysis by breaching the discourse between researchers, teachers and authors in an effort to promote texts as effective tools for enhancing awareness of multicultural perspectives and combating prejudice in all its forms. Please visit the conference website for more information and "call for submissions." http://www.newcastle.edu.au/multiculturalmosaic2003 Conference Strands Multicultural Mosaic will feature a comprehensive collection of papers and workshops, selected to develop delegates' awareness of the existence, use and value of multicultural texts.
