Be part of planning the 2022 National Multicultural Festival by joining our inaugural advisory body - the National Multicultural Festival Community Panel Reference Group.
I recently announced that the 25th Anniversary of the National Multicultural Festival will be held on the weekend of Friday 18 to Sunday 20 February 2022.
The ACT Government is seeking expressions of interest from representatives of Canberra's culturally and linguistically diverse community to join the Festival's reference group.
The role of the reference group is to advise on aspects such as the delivery of the National Multicultural Festival, and assist in the planning phase and in the lead-up to the event on strategies to encourage participation of the ACT multicultural community. The National Multicultural Festival's Steering Committee will consider this advice in its decision-making process.
The National Multicultural Festival is undoubtedly Canberra's premier event which fosters participation, social inclusion and harmony by bringing the Canberra community together to celebrate our shared cultural diversity.
I encourage members of Canberra's multicultural community to consider applying to contribute to the planning of a successful National Multicultural Festival in 2022.
The selection of community members to join the Community Panel Reference Group will align with the ACT Government's diversity and representation objectives including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation.
Applications open at 2:00pm Friday 19 March 2021 and close at5:00pm Friday 30 April 2021.
