Celebrate Harmony Week with Custom Printed Badges
Posted by Make Badges on 12th Mar 2026
Running from March 16-22, 2026, Harmony Week is Australia's annual celebration of cultural diversity and inclusiveness. This important week recognises that Australia is one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world, built on over 65,000 years of First Nations cultures and enriched by migrants from nearly 300 different ancestries.
Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background. Since 1999, more than 80,000 Harmony Week events have been held across childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and government agencies.
The week also includes the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) on March 21, reminding us to combat racism wherever it arises.
Wearing Orange: A Symbol of Unity
Orange is the official colour of Harmony Week, traditionally signifying social communication and meaningful conversations, as well as freedom of ideas and mutual respect. Australians are encouraged to wear something orange during this week to show support for cultural diversity.
Enhance Your Celebration with Custom Printed Badges
While wearing orange is wonderful, custom printed badges take your Harmony Week participation to the next level. Badges serve as conversation starters, helping spark those meaningful discussions that Harmony Week promotes. They're perfect for schools, workplaces, and community events, creating visual unity while celebrating diversity.
Custom badges allow you to incorporate Harmony Week themes, the iconic orange colour, and personalised messages that resonate with your organisation's values. They're wearable, shareable, and create lasting memories of participation in this important celebration.
