A little bit about the Ethnocultural Department
UWA is a multicultural community with international and domestic students with cultural backgrounds from all over the world.
The Ethnocultural Department acts as a representative voice for culturally and linguistically diverse students to the Guild Council. They run events and initiatives to ensure that these students are included at university, and to celebrate cultural diversity.

We aim to connect students with their communities at UWA with their respective cultural clubs, as well as external communities they can interact with outside UWA. See below to find local communities and organisations they would like to interact with.
