As stated by Citizenship and Multicultural Interests Minister Paul Papalia:
“Harmony Week is a celebration of Western Australia’s cultural diversity and a time for everyone to get involved in activities that promote inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging.
‘Harmony Week activities provide an opportunity to bring people together to learn, connect and have fun while exploring the benefits of being a part of a vibrant multicultural society”
“Next year’s Harmony Week will see Western Australia buzz with all types of activities. I encourage community groups to start thinking about their projects and join in this wonderful celebration.”
