The 'No Borders In Our Sky' project is two days of music and art workshops for young people of various backgrounds.
The program is a joint-initiative between Wagga Multicultural Council and Heaps Decent, an Australian-based arts organisation working with young people and emerging artists from diverse communities.
Clarence Machiridza, 17, found out about the workshops through his father and was loving every minute of it.
"Today, I have been playing the guitar and learning how to produce music like making beats," he said.
"It's a social interest for me.
"I learnt the guitar, but mostly I taught myself and made up beats."
Clarence moved to Australia in 2014 and then to Wagga in 2018.
"Wagga is lovely, I really like it," he said.
Nerida Woods, CEO of Heaps Decent, said they have been coming to Wagga for a number of years to run programs with young children, but this is a new project.
"We focus on music creation and digital art production," she said.
"This particular project is funded by Multicultural NSW and it's part of a compact program supporting young people to bring communities together.
"We are doing that through art forms...and eventually working towards some public works and exhibitions."
Ms Woods said the kids in Wagga had taken to the program really well.
"Everyone has been keeping themselves super busy and productive in the stations that we have set up," she said.
"We have a couple of production stations and the young people have come in with their own lyrics that they have written and they are recording their own raps.
"At the end of the day, they will have a completed song."
Multicultural Council Community-development officer Thom Paton said the program is about "celebrating cultures ... and for everyone to come together".
"Basically, it's a monthly program where Heaps Decent will come to Wagga to facilitate a range of different art workshops," Mr Paton said.
