Festive multicultural gathering in Madrid

On Sunday the 28th of June a festive multicultural gather took place in the Central Queen of Madrid Cultural Club, organised by diverse associations federated to the Centre of Cultures.

In the morning there was a presentation of the March accompanied by videos, followed by a workshop on nonviolence and a workshop of games for intercultural diversity.  In the meantime, various workshops of games, lanterns, and percussion instruments were taking place with the children present.

After a shared lunch, in the afternoon there was an opportunity for those present to express what their participation in the event had meant for them.  It is worth reporting the words of Karina from Ecuadorian Radio FM who committed to decidedly publicise everything that the Centre of Cultures was doing and the words of Olivia, recently arrived from Guatemala, who expressed her joy at the endorsement of 750 young people from indigenous communities, and finally Ana, whose sensitivity was made evident through her voice during her singing.

Sara Tajuelo, spokesperson for the Centre of Cultures made a presentation of the 3rd Day of Dialogue between Cultures that will take place on the 24th of October in various Spanish cities and also invited everyone present to participate prior to this in the events of the 6th of August to mark the bombing of Hiroshima and also on the 2nd of October (day of nonviolence and commencement of the WM).

The gathering ended with the music of Ana and Cristina and everyone got up to dance to the intercultural music fusion.
