Co-organized by New Zealand Culture and Arts Foundation, Synergy Community Trust, New Zealand Cultural and Arts Exchange Centre and Auckland Sunrise Education Centre, the 2018 Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Experience Day has drew great attention. The event has attracted over 500 local residents with diversified ethnicities such as Chinese, Indian, Samoan, and Maori etc. Over 100 performers, over 20 organizations and supporters also gathered celebrated the festival together.

This event has a great integration of culturally diversified experience sessions including Chinese Zongzi making, Maori traditional food: hangi tasting, Indian and Samoan songs learning, calligraphy, craft making and paper cutting arts etc. This is a tremendous success which not only increased people’s awareness of donating to charities and giving back to the local community, but built up a bridge for ethnic groups to exchange cultural experiences and to enhance cultural cohesion in New Zealand.
