MCCSA Harmony Day Lecture 2025: Addressing Racial Discrimination for a More Inclusive Australia

Join us on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, for an inspiring evening of dialogue, reflection, and action at the Bradley Forum as we commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD).

This year’s Harmony Day Lecture is presented by Multicultural Communities Council of South Australia (MCCSA) in collaboration with Reconciliation SA, Don Dunstan Foundation, and Equal Opportunity SA.

We are honoured to welcome Mr. Giridharan Sivaraman, Race Discrimination Commissioner – Australian Human Rights Commission, as our keynote speaker. He will share vital insights into the ongoing fight against racism in Australia and beyond.

An engaging Q&A session, led by Jodeen Carney, Commissioner for Equal Opportunity, will follow, providing a platform to explore challenges, discuss solutions, and pave pathways toward greater equity and understanding in our community.
