Over the past year, I have spent time hosting interactive art workshops focused on the concept of "home." Through these workshops, participants have explored their personal experiences and expressed themselves creatively through drawing and painting. The resulting artwork has been showcased at prestigious venues such as The Barbican Theatre and various community spaces in Plymouth.

Following a successful day of activities in 2023, CultureFest was back for a full week of events and workshops focussing on a range of topics and aspects relating to Multiculturalism and Equality & Diversity.

The inaugural CultureFest was designed in partnership with a Student Voice group and Kadus Smith, a Youth Intervention Worker from Plymouth Argyle Community Trust and was an opportunity to spread awareness of Multiculturalism and champion Anti-racism and Inclusion.

Activities in CultureFest 2024 covered a variety of subjects including...

Arts

Cookery

Social Discussions

The Law


...and featured a variety of guests and local role models to give students a greater insight into the subject.
