Sandwell College celebrated and embraced an incredible showcase of diversity, talent and togetherness at its annual One World event today!
A host of talented artists and performers performed on the colourful main stage, from Wen Sheung dancers, Eternal Taal drums, Giddah, Kathak, Ecuadorian, Columbian and Congolese dancers to K-pop, street dance, storytelling and Afrobeat, and so much more besides, while learners and lecturers wore their national and regional dress.
A series of speakers opened the inspirational event, including Principal Graham Pennington and Councillor Ahmed Bostan.
There were moving performances by support and teaching staff including Connor Wassall, Tania Manyuira and Charmaine Bedward, Dr Ross Cooper and Dr Avtar Singh.
Stalls were also selling a wide variety of handmade crafts and gifts and serving delicious food from around the world.
One World Organiser Manjit Johal said: “This event is a fantastic opportunity for us to come together and celebrate our global community. Every year we make One World a more memorable one.”
One World played a hugely successful part of Summer Unity Fest – a celebratory week across the Sandwell family of campuses for everyone to unite, reflect and have fun.
