Australia Day serves as a celebration of our nation's vibrant diversity. There is power in forming unity from this diversity, since we all collectively contribute a wealth of knowledge, culture, and prosperity to Australia.

We invite everyone to join us before Australia Day in a special human library event, where we will bridge your world to another through the stories shared by 4 diverse living 'books'. 

These 'books' are:

Larry A Gumbaynggirr elder, whose story speaks to First Nations' enduring connection to the land and Australia's complex history.

Aisha A refugee from Syria, whose story highlights resilience and hope for those seeking sanctuary in Australia.

Harmony week - A Human Library Event

Unjudge Multiculturalism - In Harmony!

Spend an evening with local ‘Human Books’ and share with them Australian multiculturalism.

Australia is one of the world’s most multicultural countries that today is considered a nation of migrants. Harmony Week is a celebration that recognizes diversity and bridge together Australian from all different backgrounds. It is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. Part of being a place that anticipates the community needs and interests, we believe it is time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism and the integration of migrants into our community.

 You are invited to “borrow” one of our five ‘human’ books for up to 20 minutes, to listen he/she experiences and stories, ask questions, and share your own experience if you wish. This one-on-one conversation event is an interactive way to share personal experiences with others fellow community members. Click here if you want to have more details about who are the books!
