Wednesday, March 21 2018 is Harmony Day.
According to the Australian Government's Harmony Day website:
Harmony Day is a day to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, based on the successful integration of migrants into our community. Australia is the most successful multicultural country on earth and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it.
Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.
Held every year on 21 March. The Day coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Since 1999, more than 70,000 Harmony Day events have been held in childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies across Australia.
JCU will be celebrating our cultural diversity with music, food, dance, entertainment and activities in Cairns (Library Lawns) and Townsville (Education Central Amphitheater) on 21 March between 10:30am and 1:30pm.
