From all over the world, migrants and refugees come to make Palmerston North their home. While some of us have been here for a long time, some have only just arrived. Together we make Palmerston North a place where migrants are celebrated for their uniqueness and encouraged to discover the beauty and richness of all cultures represented in our community.
Manawatu Multicultural Council organizes and participates in events and activities that promote cultural diversity in Palmerston North. We also collaborate with surrounding organizations with various initiatives. Please see below the latest news and events in the Manawatu area:
