Harmony Day
Harmony Day is celebrated on 21 March each year.
The 2010 theme is ‘Express Yourself’. This gives you the opportunity to share with
others the importance of diversity in your workplace, school and community through
action, performance, fashion and food.
Last Wednesday our class celebrate Harmony Day. We went to building A in the
conference room.There was already waiting many students from other classes.
At the beginning one lady told us about Harmony Day and why we celebrate this day.
After next some of students told us something about there difficulties to settle in
new country and how they manage it.They also told us there countries, where they
came from and the differences to there home countries.
After this few students sang a songs from there home countries. We heard a song from
China and Russia. And then all students sang a song Australian National Anthem
that is "Advance Australia Fair", "I am Australian" and " I still call Australia
home".Some of students took some photos.
After that we had a lunch in the conference room.and then we back to our class.
Really we had a great time.
Migrants settling into a new country
Settling in a new country is often an alienating process for many immigrants; they
are forced to disconnect with their social ties and norms in the home country,
leaving much of their social capital behind. In addition to the language problems
and cultural shock, the lack of social support often makes the situation more
difficult, further hindering the integration process. Immigrants arriving to a
foreign land often employ many strategies to overcome these obstacles and re-
accumulate their social capital.
Social capital is important in establishing roots for immigrants, whether it is
channeling local information or developing reciprocal relationships, those with
social ties and existing networks may be easier in locating the resource. Such ties
are means in which immigrants can rely on to improve their socioeconomic conditions
thorough introduction to employment opportunities and social services.
It is also possible that immigrants will be introduced to new religions and join
with these institutions. Through participating in these religious institutions.
If people do hard work that,what they are doing in Australia it easy to achive the
goal what they want.Its important that do hard work and achive your goal.
