Join our diversity conversation

Share your stories, experience, ideas and beliefs on cultural diversity and inclusion.

We want to hear from you

The 2025 Cultural Diversity theme, 'Embrace the Journey, Shape our Future’ highlights the unique and shared cultural journeys that define our diverse communities, encouraging us to honour our own cultural stories and those of others, fostering understanding, belonging and connection.

Our past is the foundation of who we are. By embracing the stories, traditions, and legacies of those before us, we acknowledge the journey that brought us here and ensure our cultural identity thrives in a modern world. Keep culture alive by sharing your connection and celebration of cultural diversity in this state.

We will feature the best 30 - 90 second videos and content from all Victorians in our storytelling series including community leaders sharing their personal and cultural journeys, multicultural connections and commitment to celebrating diversity. When you post from 1 March onwards in the lead up, please use our Cultural Diversity Week campaign hashtags until 23 March:

#CulturalDiversityWeek

#CDW2025

#EmbraceTheJourney

#ShapeOurFuture

Also make sure you tag @multiculturevic to be featured!
