Harmony Week activities in the Hills

Harmony Week is an annual celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity and the benefits it brings to the Australian community. 

This year Harmony Week will be held from 17 to 23 March. This includes the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) on Friday 21 March. It is an Australian Government initiative led by the Department of Home Affairs.

Harmony Week is a time to celebrate that Australia is one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

Our cultural diversity

Our cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we are. It makes Australia a great place to live.

Building on over 65,000 years of First Nations cultures, Australia has become home to migrants from nearly 300 different ancestries. Australia’s immigration history has helped build our modern nation.

An integrated multicultural Australia is an integral part of our national identity. All people who migrate to Australia bring with them some of their own cultural and religious traditions. They also take on many new traditions. Collectively, these traditions have enriched our nation.

Join us for workshops across the region, featuring hands-on activities that promote cultural richness, diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect. Celebrate Harmony Week in the Hills from the 17th to the 23rd of March.
