What to wear:
Everyone is encouraged to wear traditional cultural clothing or something orange, a colour symbolising social communication and meaningful conversations.
“Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Week. Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect. Australians can choose to wear something orange during Harmony Week to show their support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia.”
