034 OMI Awards 240314 JWyld

Harmony Week has been launched with the annual Western Australian Multicultural Awards.

Twelve individuals and organisations were recognised at the 2024 WA Multicultural Awards for their passion and dedication in advancing multiculturalism in Western Australia - through advocacy work, promoting intercultural understanding, or breaking down barriers.

The 2024 WA Multicultural Awards also marked the beginning of Harmony Week, which runs from 15 to 21 March and encourages everyone to experience, explore and appreciate WA's remarkable wealth of cultural, religious and linguistic diversity.

Free Harmony Week activities are happening across the State including concerts, art exhibitions, festivals and sporting events.
