Ethnic School Association Queensland (ESAQ) and Radio 4EB are jointly organising a multicultural festival ‘Celebrating Languages and Cultures in Queensland’. The festival is sponsored by Queensland Government and supported by the After Hours Ethnic Schools, Ethnic Community Council Queensland and other communities in greater Brisbane.

After Hour Ethnic School (AHES) students or their community members will sing, dance, recite poem and showcase their traditional cultural items at stage. The festival will also include face painting and craft activities for the young participants, performance of other cultural groups and multicultural food stalls. Entry will be free.

This event will raise awareness of all Australians about the importance of different languages and cultures in a multicultural society. The young Australians of the participating communities will be aware of the importance of their native language and culture.
