1. Education and Experiences News
A New Digital Home for Cultural Connection
We are excited to launch the refreshed Education and Experience website, bringing together our programs and cultural experiences in a more accessible and engaging online space.
With improved navigation and a more streamlined visual experience, the new website helps schools and organisations more easily connect with the communities, stories and learning opportunities at the heart of Cultural Infusion.
The Learning Hub Is Almost Here!
The upgraded Learning Hub will soon begin rolling out after months of development and preparation behind the scenes.
With a fresh new look, improved navigation and updated educational resources, we aim to create a more engaging and accessible experience through the newly designed platform. Alongside Joko’s World and Mungo Explorer, users will also have access to updated Sound Infusion lesson plans, Intercultural Competency resources, Intercultural Understanding Guides and more, with additional lessons, tools and resources continuing to be added over time.
We are excited to finally begin sharing the next stage of the Learning Hub and look forward to what’s ahead!
Intercultural Understanding in the Classroom
The Intercultural Citizenship Ambassador Program (ICAP)* is Cultural Infusion’s facilitated intercultural learning initiative designed to support empathy, student voice and global citizenship through guided discussion and collaborative activities. ICAP is currently fully government-funded for students at Victorian Government secondary schools.
ICAP continues to see strong interest across Victoria, with upcoming Term 3 and 4 places filling up fast following recent successful program delivery and positive school engagement. Through meaningful shared learning experiences, students are supported in developing intercultural understanding, leadership skills, confidence and connection.
Please get in touch with us if your school is interested during the Term 4 period.
*Available in Victoria only. FREE for Victorian Government secondary schools.
Atlas for Schools: Turning Data into Meaningful Insights
Every school community has a unique cultural story.
Atlas for Schools helps schools better understand the diversity within their communities through secure, anonymised and ethically managed data collection. Schools complete a simple survey, and Cultural Infusion prepares a tailored report with meaningful insights and ready-to-use classroom resources.
Used in 40+ countries and by organisations like the Diversity Council of Australia, Atlas provides insights into languages, heritage, countries of birth, belief systems and more, supporting intercultural understanding and meaningful engagement across school communities.
Filter insights by year level, gender and other demographics to better support every student.
We are now offering Atlas FREE to a limited number of schools.

2. Culture at Work
Cultural exchange thrives through conversation, collaboration and shared experience. Through international partnerships and industry events, we continue contributing to important conversations around inclusion and social cohesion across communities and workplaces locally and globally.
Cultural Exchange
The team at Cultural Infusion were delighted to host Ann Chaisoda from Steps Consulting Co. Ltd in Thailand for several weeks. The professional placement program was run by Strategic Development Group and supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
With her strong background in social impact and inclusion for neurodiverse workers, Ann enlightened us on many aspects of our own work, while we showed her the difference a multidimensional data-driven approach can bring to inclusion. We forged a strong bond with Ann and look forward to continuing this productive relationship.
Cyprus Forum, London
Cultural Infusion's Atlas is part of the conversation at the Cyprus Forum in London, which brings together policymakers, academics, and industry leaders to address some of the most pressing challenges facing democratic societies.
Our colleague Gold Darr joined a panel examining the critical issue of democratic societies and social cohesion under attack.
Sydney Build 2026
Some of the most exciting moves in inclusion are happening in our construction industry. Our Engagement and Public Liaison Officer Elizabeth Mousaferiadis was at Sydney Build 2026 discussing how data is essential for uncovering hidden diversity and building fully inclusive workplaces.
Tech Show Frankfurt 2026
Stepping into the role of speaker and panel host, our European Engagement Strategy Officer Mario
Chatzidamianos engaged with thousands of professionals at this year’s Tech Show Frankfurt, all eager to exchange insights, share practical expertise, and explore the latest cutting-edge developments shaping tech – with a constant eye towards centring humanity and championing cultural diversity.

Data-Driven Tools for Today’s Inclusion Leaders
Simplify Your WGEA Reporting with Atlas. Meeting your WGEA obligations just got easier. The Atlas WGEA Data and Report Builder allows Australian employers to securely upload their HR data and have it automatically formatted into WGEA-compliant, submission-ready reports — saving your HR team valuable time and reducing compliance risk. Built on ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type I certified infrastructure, hosted entirely in Australia, your workforce data stays protected and private every step of the way. Whether you have 100 or 500+ employees, Atlas turns a complex reporting process into a strategic advantage.
Introducing Atlas Agent: Atlas’s New AI Analytic Tool
Our human team of data scientists, anthropologists and subject matter experts analyse and report on the data we collect for our customers. Now we have a free ‘AI Agent’ reporting feature, thanks to our AI Team Leader Mary Le Grand. The AI has been trained in Cultural Infusion’s proprietary knowledge and methodology so that the automated responses it brings you are based on our best-practice approach to diversity, not a generic ‘most obvious’ pattern. It speaks our language.
The Atlas Agent is optional for Atlas customers, but highly recommended. It makes life easier for our customers when working their way through Atlas’s comprehensive and sometimes multi-tudinous data outputs.
Getting B Corp Certified Made Easier
B Corp sets the global benchmark for organisations that lead with purpose, equity and accountability, but addressing the new B Corp standards and providing evidence can be time-intensive, especially when it comes to gathering staff cultural data.
Atlas now offers two low-burden surveys that can be deployed easily and will collect 'live' evidence for up to 20 B Corp standards — all on one dashboard.
GDEIB Digital for All Your Self-Assessment and Reporting Needs
Are you looking for an easy way to view and share your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion data? Cultural Infusion have launched GDEIB Digital to enable you to self-assess and benchmark, powered by the Atlas's scientific methodology and unrivalled expertise in people data.
If you want a simple way to quickly assess where you are in terms of global best practice or do a more in-depth analysis and gain new insights to shape your strategy, we have many options to help. Get in touch to learn how it all works!
