This is an iPad app about Harmony Day, celebrated in Australia on 21 March. It contains three Harmony Day stories about Renata, Kofi and Anh presented in augmented reality using a scanned copy of the Harmony Day poster. In addition there is information on Harmony Day itself; a three-level game involving matching articles of clothing and headgear from different cultures; and activities to get involved in including using the Twibbon on Twitter and Facebook. The app was prepared as part of the 2013 Harmony Day theme 'Many Stories - One Australia'.

| Educational Values |
This resource is valuable for the primary years' curriculums in history and civics and citizenship. It is particularly relevant to the year 6 history content description about stories of groups of people who migrated to Australia and the reasons they migrated. In civics and citizenship the app is relevant for the Citizenship, diversity and identity substand in year 4.
The resource is equally valuable for the intercultural understanding general capability, notably for the learning continuum that focuses on students' development of respect for cultural diversity. Level 3 calls for students to be able to identify and discuss the significance of a range of cultural events, artefacts or stories recognised in the school, community or nation. This level is typically achieved by the end of year 4.
