What's on - Join Luton's Year of Harmony

11 February, 2010

Eight out of ten Luton residents think that people from different backgrounds get on well together.*  Luton in Harmony is a campaign to celebrate this and all that is positive about our town.

The Mall Luton is proud to support Luton In Harmony. To join us we are asking Luton shoppers and residents to visit their local community centre, sign the pledge card and wear the Luton in Harmony badge with pride.


The Luton in Harmony Pledge
Luton in Harmony is about promoting understanding within our communities. We want to celebrate our diversity and secure Luton a positive reputation on the national and international stage.

I pledge to play my part in making Luton a town to be proud of. Because prejudice and hatred harm us all:
• I will wear the Luton in Harmony badge with pride and tell people I meet what it means
• I will make friends with people from different backgrounds and life experiences and learn about their values
• I will promote my beliefs in a spirit of peace and harmony and encourage everyone I know to do the same

We currently face many challenges to cohesion in Luton - but the town's diversity has long been one of its greatest strengths and that remains the case today.

Luton has been the focus of many negative media stories during 2009 - Luton in Harmony aims to draw more attention to the many positive aspects of the town and its people and kindle local civic pride and confidence. It has the potential to improve the economic, environmental and social well-being of borough residents.

We want to demonstrate our vibrant and colourful past, present and future. For more information on Luton In Harmony click here.
