ABSTRACT In Australia, intercultural understanding has been prioritised in education and curriculum documents at both federal and state levels. Alongside this educational priority, schools have also been encouraged to demonstrate ‘engagement’ with ‘Asia’, such as through a partnership with another school in the Asia-Pacific region. My research findings are based on an ethnographic study of Year 5 and 6 Australian children's experiences of an intercultural school partnership initiative through on-line classroom exchanges over a two-year period. Through a critical analysis of ‘complexity reduction’ I draw attention to the processes through which children made sense of perceived racial and cultural differences as part of their involvement in partnership activities and conclude with some reflections on the extent to which educational initiatives such as intercultural school partnership programmes that aim to foster intercultural understanding can do so without reinforcing unequal intercultural relations and stereotypes.

“韩国……实际上不是一个亚洲国家”:澳大利亚儿童参加跨文化学校合作计划的经历

摘要在澳大利亚,在联邦和州两级的教育和课程文件中都优先考虑了跨文化理解。除教育优先事项外,还鼓励学校展示与“亚洲”的“参与”,例如通过与亚太地区另一所学校的伙伴关系。我的研究结果基于一项对五年级和六年级澳大利亚孩子的民族志研究,该研究通过在两年期间的在线课堂交流来进行跨文化学校伙伴关系计划。
