A look back at the 2024 Empowering Migrants Expo: A cultural milestone

By Australia India News Newsdesk

The inaugural Empowering Migrants Expo 2024, held last year at Brisbane City Hall, marked a significant moment in Queensland’s multicultural journey. Organised by Bhartiya Samaj, the event welcomed over 3,500 attendees, including prominent leaders, community groups, and families from over 20 nationalities.

The day-long event included traditional performances, art showcases, interactive workshops, and resource booths by more than 10 government departments and community services. Attendees described the experience as “uplifting,” “inclusive,” and “a proud moment for the migrant community.”

One of the highlights was the Migrants’ Awards ceremony, which honoured individuals who contributed selflessly to migrant wellbeing, youth empowerment, and cultural unity.

For many Indian-Australian families, the event provided an opportunity to celebrate their heritage while embracing the multicultural spirit of Australia. With a strong foundation laid in 2024, expectations are high for the 2025 edition.
