Manchester Goes Global
This event featured an evening of African and Turkish entertainment. It was inspired by the changing Manchester community, and aimed to further greater inclusiveness, diversity, and cultural understanding.
The event planning was done with the Refugee Center in Manchester. The entertainment included Sudanese dancers and singers. The Turkic refugee community also contributed food and staged a traditional wedding ceremony. There was also dancing to the Mamadou Diop, West African World Fusion Band for all who wish to move to this traditional African music.
