Global Kids Oz is an information and resource rich website built on the foundation of a critical need for a more mutliculturally tolerant and understanding society.

The company itself was founded and established by a woman who is no stranger to cultural diversity or to the prejudices imposed upon other cultures in societies worldwide, due to the limited educational materials available. It also explains her complete devotion to the provision of valuable Multicultural resources to the educational system and why Global Kids Ozcurrently provides resources from over 130 countries worldwide, with a goal of having resources from every country you can imagine within the next 12 months.

Having travelled extensively in her youth, JJ - your host – found that no matter where she went, no matter how many different cultures she encountered and lived amongst, no matter what they looked like, sounded like or which God they worshipped, one thing remained constant; the most basic instinct that links all human-kind – the need to be accepted for who we are.

It is perhaps this most fundamental desire which can be found within us all that struck a chord in JJ and led her to her calling – a calling which has gained her much respect and support from various Government Departments, Multicultural Groups and Educational Facilities throughout Australia: “To help share the wonderful differences that we all bring to whatever community or society we live in and to teach children and adults alike that regardless of our physical appearance or the way we speak, we are also very similar where it matters the most.”

It is through the understanding of ALL cultures that we gain a better understanding of our own!
