The theme for Race Relations Day 2010 is “It’s About Us- Whanau”.
The day is an opportunity to affirm the value of all our different languages, beliefs and cultures, and our common belonging to a unique and diverse nation.
Nelson Multicultural Council celebrates this important day with a huge outdoors celebration at Victory Square Park, beginning with a welcome to international students from the mayors of Nelson and Tasman and continuing with cultural performances throughout the day.
There is a relaxed, festive atmosphere with activities for the children, lots of yummy ethnic food on sale. Many community organizations take the opportunity to set up information stands so that they can explain their services.
People of all cultures are invited to participate in this wonderful event through
• Performance
• Traditional food
• Traditional art
• Dressing in your traditional clothing
• Simply attending & enjoying the day!
