Exploring Cultural Events

Join us for an engaging session that explores the value of cultural events in supporting identity, belonging, and community connection.

This session will highlight a range of cultural celebrations, festivals, and community events from across Global Majority communities. Participants will learn how attending and engaging in these events can positively impact children and young people—helping them feel seen, valued, and connected to their heritage.

We will explore practical ways to identify suitable events, prepare children and young people for participation, and reflect on the experience in a meaningful way. The session will also consider how cultural events can support emotional well-being, confidence, and a stronger sense of identity.

What you will gain:

• Understanding the importance of cultural events in identity and belonging
• Ideas for local and national events to attend
• Practical tips for supporting children’s participation
• Strategies to reflect and build learning from these experiences

Ideal for foster carers, kinship carers, adopters, and professionals, this session encourages you to step into the community and use real-life experiences to support culturally responsive care.

Because connection doesn’t just happen at home—it happens in community spaces where culture is celebrated and shared.
