Serving diverse communities

Tauranga, Rotorua & Waikato Multicultural Councils

There are 19 multicultural councils in centres throughout New Zealand, stretching from Auckland to Invercargill. In the Waikato Bay of Plenty region there are councils in Hamilton, Tauranga and Rotorua. Each provides a range of activities and services for their diverse communities. Activities include potluck dinners, multicultural festivals, exhibitions, clinics, sports tournaments, citizenship ceremonies, social groups, language classes, tree plantings and participation in national diversity events such as Waitangi Day, Race Relations Day, Maori Language Week and Samoan Language Week.

At this forum, members of local multicultural councils will profile their activities and programmes and discuss the practical challenges as voluntary community groups of supporting diversity, inclusion, participation, settlement, integration and intercultural understanding. The forum will be of particular interest to members of other multicultural councils, local government, community workers and community and ethnic groups.

Date: Sunday 21 August
Time: 3.30 pm – 5.00 pm
Hosted by: Tauranga, Rotorua and Waikato Multicultural Councils
