This unique annual Victorian project, presented by Unity in Diversity Inc., an interfaith network and a non-denominational community organisation, offered community education to foster understanding and unity of fellow Australians. A panel of experts provided rare insights into the value of Inner Peace shared by all faith communities. After a Koori Welcome, opened by a representative of the Premier of Victoria, with Dr Nicholas Coleman, as Moderator, followed on how the common threads in these beliefs are applicable to our modern society. Admission was free.
This was followed by the Mansfield Unity in Diversity Celebration – a folk dance event – 6.00 – 7.30 pm at the Mansfield Performing Arts Centre, organised by the Harmony Foundation Vic. Inc.
