Nearly half (49%) of Australians were born overseas or have at least one parent who was – you may be one of them! Harmony Week is all about celebrating Australia’s rich multicultural environment and reinforcing the message that everyone belongs.

When is Harmony Day 2022?

Running from 21-27th March 2022, Harmony Week is a time to celebrate the successful integration of many cultures into our community, into our workplaces and establishing opportunities within our networks. ICMI has a highly diverse speaker list with many Speakers coming from local indigenous and international cultural and linguistic backgrounds. They all have fascinating stories to share with your audiences – stories from the land, migration, experiences of racism, overcoming adversity and finding strength in communities and how to create supportive environments. Whether it was as a Refugee, as a First Australian or even as a second generation migrant Aussie trying to make sense of two cultures intertwining, there is so much we can learn from these fascinating Speakers.

Harmony Day Event ideas &  Speakers

Harmony Week is such a great opportunity to show that your business supports a diverse workforce, and celebrates multicultural Australia. When we feel seen, we truly can say that we belong.

So let’s put our heads together and see how when we unite, we can make Harmony Week an opportunity not to be missed.
