This paper acknowledges the profound contributions of Professor J J Smolicz. Professor Smolicz, who has over the past twenty years, been an influential figure to multicultural education. Many educators would agree that social pluralism has been instilled in the modern psyche and that the promotion of Australian linguistic and cultural diversity has evolved from its humble beginning to what is now a fairly strong entity. From little things, big things grow; MEC carries on what Professor Smolicz has started and continues with its important work.

In this presentation, we use a circular model to examine the power of one and its potential to influence others. We will explore how we as educators can promote and develop the micro-level and the practical application of the ideals of multiculturalism to the area of macro-level education. Education exists at various levels, from individuals to communities, from schools to society.

This paper highlights that MEC is in a unique position to provide advisory input in policy making, and how educators are in a powerful position to broaden students world view.
