read moreQueensland’s diversity next year will be celebrated via 117 events and festivals receiving a share of $897,000 in grant funding.
QLD Minister for Multicultural Affairs Leanne Linard said the latest Celebrating Multicultural Queensland funding round will see some old favourites return, as well as some brand-new events.
Minister Linard enthused “I’m delighted to announce the Polynesian and African Multicultural event will make its debut in 2023 in the Ipswich region, as well as the Flourish Festival in Emerald, which will celebrate the area’s culture and diversity.
“The Queensland All Nations Touch Football Tournament is also sure to be a wonderful event, engaging people from culturally diverse backgrounds and the wider community through the power of sport, cultural performances and food stalls.”
Minister Linard said over the past two years Queenslanders had spent a lot of time in isolation due to COVID-19 and the need to connect, share and celebrate the state’s different cultures was more important than ever.
“Celebrating our cultural diversity in Queensland is not only important for our social wellbeing, but it also helps promote inclusion and social cohesion,” she said.
“From the tip of the state to the south-east corner, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved. I encourage everyone to find something that interests them and attend.
“These events are a fantastic way to demonstrate how everybody has a role to play in helping people to connect, contribute and belong. They enable us all to learn more about the rich diversity in our communities and enhance Queensland’s great lifestyle.”
The Celebrating Multicultural Queensland program supports events and projects through annual grant funding rounds. A total of 117 events will receive funding ranging from $1000 to $20,000 in 2023.
