Aotearoa New Zealand is one of the most diverse countries in the world, with over 200 different ethnicities and a quarter of all people who call New Zealand home born overseas.
Welcoming Week is a New Zealand Immigration initiative. It provides an opportunity to celebrate our diversity, embracing whanaungatanga (the importance of relationships) and manaakitanga (the value of extending hospitality and caring for other people).
