The drums of harmony will beat at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga next Tuesday 20 March to celebrate national Harmony Day.Pupils from Wodonga Primary School will demonstrate their Japanese Taiko drumming skills as part of the celebrations, which will be held between 11.30am and 1pm.Taiko is a very active and dramatic form of drumming developed in Japan from the 6th century.Other activities for CSU students to help celebrate Harmony Day include games, crafts and a competition with flags from around the world.“We want to spread the Harmony Day message that ‘everyone belongs’,” said CSU event coordinator and student liaison officer, Mr Lee Elliott.“With almost half of Australians born overseas or having a parent who was, we want to show our students that diversity is what brings us together as a community, including here in Albury-Wodonga.”Harmony Day activities will be held in and around the Gums Café at CSU in Albury-Wodonga, off Elizabeth Mitchell Drive, Thurgoona.
