The purpose of the International Festival of Language and Culture is to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion, whilst also providing an opportunity for participating students to showcase the kaleidoscope of their language and culture with other students from around the world. Sirius College and Australian Intercultural Society are avid supporters of collaborative learning and compassion, promo
ting fellowship and dialogue among youth of diverse backgrounds in Australia. Our co-hosts are passionate advocates of community involvement as a platform for achieving peace, friendship and understanding. Sirius College and Australian Intercultural Society also trust that this festival will exemplify our core Australian values of understanding, respect & inclusion on a national and global scale. In 2015, this event was staged worldwide in 20 countries, with more than 2000 participants from 145 different countries. In 2015, this spectacular festival was performed in Melbourne, Australia, for the first time, with Sirius College organisation and the support of Australian Intercultural Society. In 2016, IFLC was taken place in Sydney at the majestic Sydney Opera House (SOH); cohosted by our sister organisations Amity College and Affinity Intercultural Foundation. The world-renowned Sydney Opera House was certainly a symbolic venue to stage the multicultural mosaic of this event.
