Staff and pupils at Cranmore Integrated Primary School recently enjoyed the opportunity to promote inter-culturalism in our school.  We enjoyed ‘One World Day’, an interactive series of cultural workshops delivered through the arts. Artists from Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, Polish, Indian, African, Ukrainian and Pakistani communities delivered each of the sessions, sharing their own culture with us. Staff and pupils moved around the workshops throughout the day, enjoying music, drama, art and dressing up in traditional costumes.

The workshops, delivered by Artsekta, through their Cultural Coach programme were well planned and the quality of the content delivered was high. The pupils were all engaged and attentive and extremely respectful of all cultures. It was a fabulous day for all involved and a wonderful opportunity to explore other cultures in a fun and engaging way.

The staff and pupils of Cranmore are grateful to the IEF for the support of a small grant which allowed the event to take place.
