Investigate a local area and a contrasting municipality in another cultural environment or country, focusing on demographics, environmental features, policy and resources and the way in which they recognise history (including Aboriginal and Tones Strait Islander histories), children’s rights, cultural identity, access to resources and sustainability.
Follow the steps below to do the research for your report:
1. Identify your local neighbourhood (this could be where you live now or where you grew up). 2. Research the demographics of this area (culture, language, age of population etc.). 3. Research the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander history of this area. 4. Research the environmental features (local geographical features, landmarks etc.). 5. Research the local resources in this area. Identify resources relevant to children (e.g. parks, natural environments, libraries, Aboriginal sites etc.). 6. Take photos of each of these places (at least 3 environmental features and at least 3 local resources). Do not include children in these photos. 7. Identify which of these places are ones where primary age children would be able to play or socialise freely and investigate and reflect on why this may be the case. 8. Identify a SECOND neighbourhood that is different culturally to your local neighbourhood. This can be in Australia (e.g. an Indigenous community) or in another country (e.g. the country that you or your extended family are from). 9. Identify the demographics, local history, environmental features, local resources and places children can play and socialise and mark these on a map of this SECOND neighbourhood. Identify at least six. 10. Research relevant polices related to children and children’s rights in each of these communities (e.g. Child Friendly Cities).
