Australia celebrates Harmony Day every year on March 21. It is a national day that provides us with an opportunity to celebrate our successes as a culturally diverse society, re-commit ourselves to harmony and say “no” to racism.
Harmony Day coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
