Queensland Multicultural Month: Digital Diversity
Every year for one
month the Queensland Government and Access Community Services hosts ‘Queensland
Multicultural Month’, an annual festival celebrating the diverse people and
cultures that call Queensland home. This year it is held in August. Each of the
four weeks has its own theme relating to multiculturalism in Australia. The
theme for this week is Digital Diversity.
There are a number of
activities you can participate in, both in person and online, that accommodate people
of all ages. The 2016 Festival boasted more than 90 events and this year is looking
to be the same or greater. Migrants to Queensland can complete the online ‘Welcome
to Queensland’ survey to tell the Queensland government what went well or could
be improved in their process of settling to Queensland. Featured events are the
Festival of Slavonic Culture, Korean and Japanese Festivals, Fire Festival or,
if you’re eager to learn a new language, the University of the Sunshine Coast
is offering seven short language courses in honour of Multicultural Month.
It’s sure to be a
fantastic event and one not to be missed. You can find the full calendar of
events and more information about the festival via the link below.
