Building Social Cohesion and Tackling Extremism 2016

Governments around Australia have made building social cohesion and tackling extremism a top priority. This conference will explore what the evidence tells us about what’s working in these areas as well as where the gaps are and how we can overcome them. There will be a strong focus on the experience of young people and how we can work more effectively with them. 'Extremism is a challenge all Australians must address... We are the most successful and harmonious multicultural society in the world. The richness of our diversity is one of our nation's greatest strengths and we must protect and defend it dearly' Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, November 2015
