Entitled ‘One City, One Community, One Journey to a better place’ the local integrated schools invite the public to the largest gathering to showcase and celebrate diversity in local life.  There is sample food from different cultures and traditions, shared and served by families from all over the world who have made this place their home, followed by music, dance and words to welcome and enthral.

Who do you think you are? Where do you come from? Where are we going? What does your place, my place look like?

These are just some of the questions we ask while joyfully celebrating the wonderful mix of all that we are in this city and community.  Based on the model started in Oakgrove Primary school, the evening follows work in all our integrated schools, exploring questions of identity in our city, allowing us to explore together. 

Young people reaching out to those who are different lead us in showing ways to work and play together.  To young and old from near and far, this evening is the first chapter in the new story of our city: one city, one community, on a shared journey to a better place.
