ABC News video Together for Humanity fights prejudice and hatred at its source with positive experiences of diversity. 

Our goals are to ensure young Australians learn to think for themselves, replacing prejudice with respect and genuine curiosity, and to learn that we can work together for the benefit of all humanity.  The Programmes address HSIE and PDHPE syllabus outcomes and are authorised by NSW DET Performances for Schools.  Join the 50,000 students around Australia who have been part of our programs.

The Programmes
