SWSPHN staff joined the Harmony Week celebrations last week with activities which gave everyone the opportunity to share, learn and appreciate Australian multiculturalism.
Harmony Week, 20 to 26 March, is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.
The message of Harmony Week is everyone belongs.
We held our activities on Harmony Day on Tuesday, 21 March.
Our staff wore orange, the colour chosen to represent Harmony Week, while:
- Enjoying a lunch of flavours from around the world
- Hearing first-hand the experiences of a staff member who came to Australia as a refugee in 1993 to escape the Bosnian war
- Pinning our places of cultural identity on a world map
- Participating in the How diverse is your universe? activity
