This year's World Habitat Day will take place on the 4th of October. The theme "Better City, Better Life" highlights a vision of a sustainable urban world that harnesses potentials and possibilities, mitigates inequalities and disparities, and provides a home for people of all cultures and ages, both rich and poor - according to Anna Tibaijuka, former ED of UN-HABITAT.
As a partner to UN-HABITAT, The University of Auckland will celebrate World Habitat Day 2010 with a week of activities open to staff, students and the public.
You are invited to participate in our activities happening all around campus, and find out about what University of Auckland can offer you on all things sustainable!

To kickstart a week of events to celebrate World Habitat Day at The University of Auckland, the International Office is leading 'A Home for All Cultures' - a day of creative
expression to celebrate cultural diversity on campus.
You are invited you to take part in a collaborative painting event in the Quad on 29 September. Participants will paint on a 3 metre high by 11 metre long Pacific style Tapa cloth to represent their homel...and in the form of symbols and colours.
This will then be on permanent display at The University of Auckland.
A big thanks to Resene, proud sponsor of the event.
To raise awareness of the University’s global connections and its role of providing a distinctive international educational environment, the International Office will be launching the week’s activities with ‘A Home for All Cultures’, a collaborative painting session with artistic contributions from ELAM School of Fine Arts’ students, the Māori and Pacific communities, international students from the University’s overseas partner institutions and academic staff.
The event will provide an opportunity for an open cross-cultural dialogue in the form of creative expression to honour the cultural diversity of the campus and greater Auckland City community.
World Habitat Day reflects on the state of our cities and
the basic right of all humans to adequate shelter. It is also
intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility
for the future of the human habitat. In the spirit of this
day, A Home for All Cultures serves to honour the cultures
of all of its peoples represented on campus which contribute
to the culturally diverse population of the Auckland City
community.
Bring along your creativity and your ideas for cultural expression and get painting!
