New Zealand Diversity Forum

The 2012 New Zealand Diversity Forum will be held on 19-20  August at Aotea Centre in Auckland. The theme of the conference, “Aotearoa, A Fair Go for All” continues from Race Relations Day in March 2012.Aotearoa RR 71 250x88 New Zealand Diversity Forum

The forum is a unique national convention, now in its eight year, at which people involved in race relations, human rights and cultural diversity come together to share ideas and good practice.  The emphasis is on practical action. It is more of a marketplace than a traditional conference, with a diverse range of organisations hosting their own forums and events that together make up the programme. These range from professional meetings (for example for researchers, librarians, local government community staff, museum and gallery staff) to forums on topical issues and projects. The annual New Zealand Diversity Awards are presented at a ceremony on the Monday evening.

Principal partners in this year’s forum are the NZ Human Rights Commission, the Auckland Regional Migrant Services Charitable Trust (ARMS), the Auckland Council, MSD Settling In, the NZ Police, the NZ National Commission for UNESCO and the Office of Ethnic Affairs.
