Harmony Day 2015 – Celebrating 15 years of participation
Harmony Day is an Australian Government program and coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Since 1999, Harmony Day has been widely celebrated across schools, childcare centres, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies.
The message of Harmony Day is Everyone Belongs. It is a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity. It is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home – from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from many countries around the world.
The theme for 2015 is to celebrate 15 amazing years of participation.
There are many ways you can celebrate Harmony Day – through sport, dance, art, film, music, storytelling, cooking and sharing cultural meals. By participating in Harmony Day activities you can learn and understand how all Australians from diverse backgrounds equally belong to this nation and make it a better place.

Why Orange?
Orange has been the Harmony Day colour since the first day was held in 1999. Traditionally the colour orange relates to social communication, stimulating two-way conversations. It aids in the development of new ideas and frees the spirit of its limitations, giving us the freedom to be ourselves. At the same time it encourages self-respect and respect of others.
