Celebrate cultural diversity and give back to society

Future Way

The 2018 Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Experience Day has made a remarkable achievement in the local community last week on 17th June 2018. 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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
