Harmony Day at Epping

Harmony Day is the official day for celebrating Australia's cultural diversity.  A very popular and festive Harmony Day was celebrated at Epping, with the Library providing the venue for Harmony Day opening speeches.  Numerous cultural artefacts and personal treasures provided a colourful backdrop to the proceedings, thanks to the kindness of students who loaned personal items; and the display skills of library staff Angela Blazevic and Dalith Hudson.
 
The Harmony Day celebration placed the cultural diversity of the Epping student community on show, with participants from Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, India, African nations, Spain, New Zealand, Macedonia, Hungary, Italy, Greece, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Timor Leste, Kurdistan, Turkey, Australia and many other places. 
 
The Epping Library thanks Dimi Bouzalas for so generously sharing her photos of the event.
