New Zealand Diversity Forum in August

Friday, July 18th, 2014

The 10th annual New Zealand Diversity Forum will be held in Christchurch 24 $ 25 August

The forum’s theme is Migrant and refugee employment.

Valuing diversity is a key issue, given the rebuild being undertaken in the Canterbury region and increased recruitment of migrant workers to help drive the rebuild.

The forum will include a variety of keynote speakers, a number of special topic sessions focusing on key race relations issues, and will conclude with the 2014 New Zealand Diversity Awards.

The forum is preceded by the 2014 Diversity Youth Forum. Find out more
