CricKids Playing in Harmony
CricKids Playing in Harmony is a teaching and learning resource developed by Four Diegos Media for Cricket Australia. It uses cricket as a basis for tackling social and community issues such as bullying, racism, prejudice, leadership and fair play.
It is a unit of work that is taught across curriculum subjects such as English, Art and Information Technology,and aims to reach 70,000 students and teachers over the next 12 months.
It is the first time a formal education program has been coordinated by Australian cricket to encompass key social issues, meet curriculum objectives, and celebrate cultural diversity and inclusion.
CricKids Playing in Harmony is an innovative resource that has been developed in partnership with the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs as part of its Harmony Day initiative and is scheduled to commence in term one of 2007.
Cricket Australia is set to launch an Indigenous version of this resource in 2008.
