The Children’s Diversity Fun Day is a wonderful fun way to learn about different cultures and faith traditions. Children will particpate in Food Tasting, Cultural Dressing Up,and Tradtional Dance. Learning from these activities, children will paint mugs to take home. This will culminate in team games and a tug o war.

 The event is for Primary 5, 6, 7 school age children and is held at the Maccabi centre in Giffnock from 2-5pm.

 This event has been organised by a unique partnership between faith communities and ERC sports services department and Active Schools. Promoting greater understanding and building relationships has been a strong feature of the work. Youth leaders and volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds will support the event.
