Diversity is a very beautiful thing

This 3 minutes of pure joy was filmed at our Embolden Festival in 2019. The film is a celebration of the diversity of older Australians. We are sharing it with you to mark Harmony Day, 21st March - a time of reflection on respect for cultural and religious diversity. This year so many people have also reflected on the history of harmony day, in short, an Australian rebadging of the United National International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. We know that older people still experience racial discrimination and we love that more and more Australians are saying that's not okay. We join the chorus of people saying no to racial discrimination and in our work we are committed to ensuring that the wonderful diversity of older Australians shines.
