International Friend's Picnic
To celebrate Refugee Week 2024, we hosted an International Friend's Picnic. This celebrated the rich contributions made by our local refugee and multicultural community members. Food and music, from around the world, made it a day to remember. Invitations are sent to our multicultural networks each year prior to the event.
Refugee Week
In June Each year we celebrate Refugee Week. This year's theme was Finding Freedom: Familiy
The theme captures the journey of resilience, strength, and unity that shapes the refugee experience.
Refugee Week provides a platform where positive images of refugees can be promoted to create a culture of welcome throughout the country. The ultimate aim of the celebration is to create better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration enabling refugees to live in safety and to continue making a valuable contribution to Australia.
Harmony Day
Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
in March each year Sutherland Shire Council celebrates Harmony Week with our local community.
