“Through CREDIT teachers and schools have become more empowered and confident in overcoming issues of division, diversity, inclusion and reconciliation that sadly classrooms and school environments still experience.

Since launching last year, the CREDIT Project has worked with more 160 teachers providing training and development that focuses on diversity, inclusion and community cohesion issues in school environments.
