By showcasing the Lebanese culture to the broader Australian community, we hope to bring unity to the locals and bring down barriers that lead to a wider understanding of each other.
- Challenging stereotypes to show the best nature of people.
- Bringing unity in the community by showcasing different cultures and showing the similarities that each have.
- Educating the community about different cultures to breakdown any existing barriers.
- Exposing traditional cuisine, arts and culture to educate people about the harmonious, loving and uniting aspects they bring.
- Inter-religious unity by bringing people of different faiths together.
