👏🧡 Another amazing #HarmonyWeek for AIM's event calendar! 🧡🤝

In Melbourne, staff and students were treated to incredible Vietnamese, Indian and fusion music by some our extremely talented international students.
In Sydney, our Afro/Latin Ensemble got students and staff dancing in the amphitheatre (did you catch our new Reel?)

It was also great to hear the experiences of our students, sharing stories about living through lockdowns in Aus with their families in another country, or studying online from overseas, waiting to join their classmates when borders reopened.
So many different experiences, but one thing remained constant - MUSIC is a universal language 🎶💕

Harmony Week is all about celebrating Australia's multiculturalism, and we are so proud to be able to showcase such a diverse range of music and talent at AIM!
