Conference Theme
The theme of the conference is 'Unity In Diversity', and through this lens, we seek to investigate concepts of social justice, equity, inclusion, identity, cultural diversity, inclusive services, and community cohesion.
The program will build upon 40 years of community service by the Townsville Intercultural Centre, involving delegates from diverse communities, service providers, religious representatives, government and advocacy groups to engage with key issues affecting social cohesion, inclusive human services and the Australian identity crisis.
The topics we will be covering during the conference fit within 3 major themes.
