Wonderfully Successful Celebration of Culture and Inclusion at Millstreet Community School

We thank John Magee, Chaplain, Millstreet Community School for the following report of the wonderfully successful event:

A Celebration of Culture and Inclusion took place in Millstreet Community School on Tuesday 11th March.  It was a great success, with a number of students representing their nationality with pride.  Ireland was well represented with a traditional music group, set dancers, songs and Irish poetry.  
 
The special guest for the evening was Fahmeda Naheed. She is a School of Sanctuary Ambassador, a Community Development Officer with SECAD, and Co-Chair of the Cork Three Faiths Forum and presents and produces her own weekly programme on Cork Community Radio.  She spoke about the work she has done building bridges in different settings in Cork since she arrived from Pakistan fifteen years ago.  She expressed her appreciation for the school’s ongoing inclusive approach as a Champion School of Sanctuary.
 
We were also joined by Raphael Olympio who is the Youth Development Worker with Cork Migrant Centre.  He showed his talent as a rapper and a spoken word artist.
 
Once the entertainment was completed the audience moved to the Canteen where there was the chance to taste food from a number of different countries.  We are grateful to all the families who contributed traditional food. Special thanks go to O’Leary’s Family Butcher, Tony O’Brien’s Craft Butcher, Café Aroma, The West End Café and Cloverhill Foods who contributed generously to this part of the evening.
 
The evening was a great success.  Thanks to everyone who joined us for the evening.
