New Zealanders talk about multiculturalism


The report of the MNZ-UNESCO Multiculturalism project was launched at the Wellington City Council on 13 August 2015. The report was commissioned by Multicultural New Zealand assisted by a grant from the New Zealand Commission for UNESCO. It is based on the outcomes of 34 workshops involving 581 participants throughout New Zealand. These workshops took place from February – June 2015. Former Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres conducted the workshops and wrote the report. Its purpose is to provide a starting point for developing a national action plan for multiculturalism and multilingualism in dialogue with government and community organisations.
