Celebrating diversity and harmony
18 Mar 2008
Celebrating local harmony is the aim of Harmony Day at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Albury-Wodonga Campus on Wednesday 19 March. Albury-Wodonga’s cultural diversity will be on show with food, music, dance and other activities from around the world. “Harmony Day began in 1999 as a celebration of Australia's success as a diverse society united by a common set of values,” said event and CSU Student Community coordinator, Mr Geoff Simmons. “Australia is built on immigration and we have a proud history of welcoming people from around the world. Since 1945, more than six and a half million migrants have come to Australia. Australians speak over 300 languages, including Indigenous languages, and practise a range of religions.” The event will run from 10.30am to 1.30pm on 19 March, next to The Shed on the University’s Albury City site, off Olive St, Albury.
