Inclusive Communities โ€“ July 1st to 31st ๐Ÿค

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This month weโ€™re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

Thereโ€™s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say โ€˜helloโ€™ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!

Donโ€™t forget this month also coincides with Womenโ€™s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how youโ€™re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
