On 29 March 2025, we gathered at the historic Kingston House in Kingston Park for a truly inspiring Harmony Day event, set against the breathtaking coastal backdrop of Kaurna Country. With over 45 attendees, including many first-time participants at United Nations Association events, it was wonderful to see new faces engaging in this vital conversation. We were privileged to hear from **extraordinary speakers—Behishta Anwar, Fida Hussain, Elena Gasparyan, and Brad Chilcott—**who shared powerful insights on unity, inclusion, and the ongoing work needed to build a more harmonious society. A heartfelt thank you to Member for Black, Alex Dighton, for attending and supporting the event. We also enjoyed a beautiful spread of fresh fruit, lovingly prepared by Olga Larizza, adding a delicious touch to the day.Harmony Day is fundamentally about the elimination of racial discrimination, a cause at the heart of the United Nations’ global mission. This gathering reaffirmed our collective commitment to advancing racial equity and fostering communities where everyone belongs. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to such a meaningful and thought-provoking discussion—we look forward to continuing this important work together.
