Harmony Day is on the 21st March in Australia.  We celebrate Harmony Day to promote diversity and acceptance of other cultures.  Harmony Day aims to start a conversation about heritage, culture and community.  The even coincides with the United Nations' International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations.  It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect.  Australians can choose to wear something orange on Harmony Day to show their support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia.

At St. Joseph's we will be watching a YouTube clip https://www.ceh.org.au/harmony-day-march-on/ which explains Harmony Day in a child friendly format. 

Happy Harmony Day!
