You have received the following email:

Hi,

I was talking to Georgia and she suggested that you are the person to talk to about Harmony Day. I know that it was back in March, but given the online working earlier in the year Dave has decided that we need to do something fun as we transition back to working in the building. So, Dave thought that we should have an international food day or something and use the concept of Harmony Day as the reason.

Can I get you to come up with one or two things we could do for this? Perhaps a bit of a plan of attack?

Thanks,

Stu.

You then received this email from Georgia:

Hi,

I am not happy about this whole Harmony Day idea. It is nothing but window dressing. Dave has no idea what he is thinking.

Can I get you to fix this? Whatever event you come up with needs to not be just another example of tokenism.

Warm Wishes,

Georgia.
