Celebrating diversity and belonging at Southern Cross University.
Since its launch in 2008, Southern Cross University’s Fusion Festival has become a cherished annual tradition, providing a platform to acknowledge, learn from, and celebrate the rich cultural diversity within our University community. The festival offers students and staff a chance to share their story, connect with others, and help foster intercultural understanding and harmony across our campus.
Fusion Festival coincides with Harmony Week this year, reinforcing our commitment to inclusivity, respect, and a sense of belonging for all. The festival will continue to highlight the unique cultural perspectives that enhance our learning and community spirit across our campuses. Join us for vibrant performances, cultural activities, and a taste of food from around the world as we celebrate diversity and unity!
