What I'd like to see in Cultural Diversity Week is a concentration on food. In this city, food brings us together.
And if you can get people who have never met never encountered each other to sit down and bread together, you create a bond.
I would really love to promote and see a lot more, collaboration and connection between multicultural, multi-faith communities.
So perhaps if we’re sharing dishes or sharing recipes, sharing stories.
I think we all have a role to play, really to champion Cultural Diversity Week.
So the things that I can do in my own community is to hold an event, and we can all, promote amongst ourselves about how culture can connect us
and not divide us.
Culture connecting us all is part and parcel of my story and my life.
That is family coming from across the seas to make a new life here in Australia.
It's about sharing their culture with others but also learning from others.
I know that multiculturalism is one of our core strengths.
And culture is the invisible thread that connects us all.
Sometimes we forget that there are more similarities than differences between people who are outwardly different.
I guess the theme sort of reminds us that deep down, we are pretty much the same, and we have pretty much the same needs
and we want the same thing.
What I would like to see for Cultural Diversity Week
Cultural Diversity Week in 2026 is more about the languages. Sadly, our language is a bit of a dying, language, so it'd be beautiful
to, have that as part of the week.
And I always say to people like in social cohesion and if you want to see a change, you have to be ready to be part of the change.
So be the change that you want to see.
VMC!
