Friendship theme for arts show
Children from all over Nuneaton, Bedworth and North Warwickshire will be coming together to celebrate friendship.
They will be taking part in activities from all over the world in two days of workshops hosted at Milby Primary School in Nuneaton.
The Intercultural Creative and Performing Arts Festival, being run on the theme of friendship, is being organised by Warwickshire County Council’s Intercultural Curriculum Support Service (ICSS).
It is part of three other similar events being held around the county. The annual aims to create a better understanding and awareness of each others’ cultural, religious and linguistic diversity.
Some of the activities in this year’s workshops are: Steel Pans, Mehndi Hand Painting, Story & Indian Dance, Food Technology, Scripts Around the World, Japanese Dolls, Storytelling, Working with Silk, Samba Rhythm, African Patterns, African Rhythm.
After the workshops, the youngsters will hold a finale evening at Bedworth Civic Hall on 22 June with performances including dance, drama, music and poetry.
James Shera, Director of ICSS said: “These events help children understand and appreciate different cultures while having fun. The finale performances have gone down very well in the past with parents, friends and people from the community enjoying them and this year promises another good turn out.”
