ASSIGNMENT 1 DETAILS
In order to complete this assignment you need to:
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 Torres 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 neighborhood (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 neighborhood that is different culturally to your local neighborhood. This can be in Australia,
but not in the same State or Territory as your first community (e.g. an Indigenous community) or in another country
(e.g. the country that you currently reside in for international students only).
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 neighborhood. 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).
11. Identify how environmental features, policy and natural resources interact with the way children use the area in
each of the communities.
12. Reflect on what you have learnt about the processes of research and your understandings of your own place and
cultural identity.
