Many people of Indian heritage struggle to adapt to life in Australia, finding it something of a culture shock
There are many people of Indian ancestry living in Australia. Some were born in the nation while others emigrated for the main purpose of finding work. Many people of Indian heritage struggle to adapt to life in Australia, finding it something of a culture shock.
The Australian-Indian Sports, Educational and Cultural Society provides a lot of support for Indians living in Australia and overall helps to bond the cultures of the two nations – for example with their shared love of sport.
AISECS are a society with many aims and essentially they seek equality for all people in Australia, also encouraging women into sports. With links to international governments and top businesses, they can effectively influence ideas and change.
One of the things they improve is bilateral relations between India and Australia and sport is one means by which they build those relationships. Both countries have a specific shared interest in the form of cricket.
Educating and encouraging open dialogue about diversity through sport is a revolutionary idea as it can provide people with an interest and most vitally of all help people to become acclimatised to a new country in the case of Indians moving to Australia
As well as aiding the adaptation period for Indians emigrating to Australia, AISECS helps with the process of finding jobs and internships in Australia that are suitable for Indian migrants. The organisation essentially helps Indians to build fresh lives in Australia, from the process of earning a living or an education to simply adapting to the culture and fitting into society.
AISECS’ principles of improving India and Australia’s links via sport and education are intertwined, with sport being a common interest that brings people together which allows people to be more understanding of each other’s culture and as a result they become educated about their differences – in a positive way.
One of AISECS main methods of supporting those it aims to help is to encourage people to play sports at any level. Educating and encouraging open dialogue about diversity through sport is a revolutionary idea as it can provide people with an interest and most vitally of all help people to become acclimatised to a new country in the case of Indians moving to Australia.
