Unite for Diversity

Unite for Diversity: Listen, Share, Understand

Wyndham City is proud to launch Unite for Diversity: Listen, Share, Understand, a series of activities and events aimed at building understanding and trust, and reducing racism and discrimination in our community.  

Run over April and May 2024, the Unite for Diversity series features a free program of intimate events designed to break down barriers and encourage curiosity and kindness by bringing people together to share their unique stories and experiences.

Wyndham is one of the most diverse regions in Australia, with 48 per cent of our residents born overseas, and nearly 50 per cent speaking a language other than English.

Wyndham is also home to a large and diverse First Nations population. In recent years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all over Australia have made Wyndham home, sparking an increase from 700 residents identifying as Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander in 2006 up to 2,511 in the 2021 Census.

These activities and events provide a unique opportunity to build cultural awareness and inclusivity; share culture, conversation and understanding; and discover how to report and respond to racism.
