Harmony Week

17–23 March

Harmony Day is 21 March

With almost half of all Australians either born overseas or having a parent who was, Cultural Diversity Week is an opportunity to celebrate the richness that multiculturalism brings to our workplaces and communities.

We can connect you with a diversity of speakers who are passionate about promoting cross-cultural understanding and offering fresh perspectives on what it means to be an Australian.

More information and resources about Harmony Week are available here.
