This August, Queensland Rail<\/a> is celebrating Multicultural Queensland Month, where we celebrate the many cultures and languages across Queensland.<\/p>\n

Join us to learn more about what Queensland Rail has been up to and discover what multiculturalism means to them!<\/p>\n

What is Multicultural Month?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Almost a quarter of Queenslanders are born overseas, and many have at least one parent born in a country other than Australia. Multicultural Month<\/a> is a vibrant celebration honouring the diverse tapestry of cultures that call this region home.<\/p>\n

Throughout the month, communities across the state come together to showcase their rich traditions, art, music, and culinary delights, fostering unity, and understanding among its residents.<\/p>\n

This annual celebration<\/a> serves as a reminder of the strength of embracing differences and learning from one another. Multicultural Month in Queensland promotes cross-cultural understanding and creates a sense of belonging for everyone, regardless of background.<\/p>\n
