Macclesfield College hosts celebration of cultures from around the world
Traditions and cuisine from around the world came to Macclesfield in May.
Macclesfield College recently hosted its first 'Culture Day', bringing staff and students together for a celebration of the many cultures that make up the college community.
Organised by the EDIE (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Equity) Committee, the event filled the college with music, dance and the smells of freshly made food from around the world.
"Culture Day is appreciating the heritage, traditions and diversity of our college in a way we can all connect," said Marie Sheehan-Slade, director of HR and culture, who leads the EDIE Committee.
"It was incredible to see our college community come together in such a powerful, positive way.
"The energy and pride on display were truly inspiring."
Students and staff spent the day exploring new cultures, connecting with one another and celebrating the diversity that enriches the college.
Highlights of the day included food from Dumpling and Ting, Las Paellas, Winy Yan Hon and 2C9.
There was also lively Zimbabwean, South African and Ukrainian dancing and singing performances.
Attendees could also take part in Ukrainian embroidery and doll making workshops, purchase handcrafted items by Rebecca Hill, and enjoy games with Carrom Boarrd.
Meanwhile, the college's Pathways students provided 'desserts from around the world'.
