Harmony Day-2012

Harmony Day is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. This event was established in 1999 and held on 21^st March every year. It is a great opportunity to celebrate and respect the culture diversity to make Australia a great place to live.

On 20^th of March which is Tuesday this week, the St George Tafe student association organized the event this year and located in main campus. Students from different countries brought variety kinds of their traditional food and shared with each other.  It is always the best way to know different cultures from food.  People get to know each other through social conversation while they sharing food. And most of the traditional foods always come with a beautiful story.

 On the day, students from Philippines, Mid-East, China, Vietnam, etc. also presented brilliant shows.  Students enjoyed the show; people accept other culture easily from artist program.  

It is really a great opportunity for people have different backgrounds to  stay together and get to know each other.
