VIRTUAL TALK The Changing Face of Sydney with Thang Ngo
Date & Time
Sydney is widely recognized as being one of the most diverse and multicultural cities in the world, and the people who live here come from a wide variety of cultural and social backgrounds.
Although our city has had waves of immigration from around the world for over 200 years, the past couple of decades have seen a dramatic change in Sydney’s demographics. What can these changes tell us about our city and ourselves?
But beyond the numbers, diversity expert and food blogger Thang Ngo will explore the allure of our modern city and its communities through taste, touch and fragrance.
This will be a virtual event via Zoom.
