The Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, Nicholas Kotsiras has praised the latest graduates of the AFL’s Multicultural Camp. The camp is supported by AFL Victoria, in partnership with AFL Multicultural Program partner clubs.
The AFL Multicultural Camp brings together young Victorians from culturally different backgrounds for a high performance program, including leadership training and personal development. In the Camp, the young Victorians learn how to become team players with fellow footballers from different backgrounds, and the camp teaches them to respect their teammates on and off the field.
Mr. Kotsiras stated about the Camp: “The AFL’s Multicultural Camp has shown these young footballers how to work as part of a team, regardless of their diversity”. My message and one that you can learn through football – is that our differences are our strength,” he said. “Importantly, we must remind ourselves that we are part of the bigger Team Victoria.” Mr. Kotsiras thanked the AFL for bringing together 40 young people from culturally diverse backgrounds, and reminded the participants that the most exciting game of life in footy terms, is only the first quarter.
