SBS’s The Cultural Atlas expands to include religion
The Cultural Atlas has announced it has expanded its online directory offering to include detailed profiles of eight of Australia’s most observed religions.
The update sees profiles on Roman Catholic Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Theravāda Buddhism and Mahāyāna Buddhism added to the popular online resource.
The Cultural Atlas was developed by SBS in partnership with digital platform Incluude as part of the SBS Inclusion Program, and has become one of SBS’s most visited websites, receiving over 4.5 million unique visitors each year. It is designed for government, educational, business and community groups providing them comprehensive information on the cultural background of Australia’s many diverse communities.
“The Cultural Atlas has become the go-to source of information for a large range of organisations seeking to better understand Australia’s increasing diversity among communities. It is fantastic to see these religion profiles being added to the Atlas which already explores more than 70 cultures,” said Leon Coningham, SBS’s head of distribution.
