Many Cultures Make Glasgow event brings eclectic mix of song, dance, music and spoken word together in the City Chambers
The event, organised by Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, includes a wonderful selection of performances from groups and individuals of varying nationalities and cultures that have chosen Glasgow as their home. It aims to celebrate these communities’ important contributions to the city and show how embracing different cultures has helped to shape Glasgow. Chiefly from the ethnic minority communities in Glasgow, the performances include African drumming and storytelling, traditional singing, Chinese and Bhangra dancing, poetry in a variety of languages and translated into English and Slovakian Roma folk music. Led by Iranian –born Maryam Hamidi, best known from her role as Leyla Brodie in BBC’s soap River City, the three hour event will include exciting performances of music, song, dance and spoken word. Contributors include performances from the Maryhill Integration Network dancers and JOYUS choir, Govanhill based folk band E Karika Djal, African Caribbean Network and Ricefield Arts and Cultural Centre, as well as pupils from Hyndland Primary school and the dancers from Bellahouston Academy. Councillor Soryia Siddique, chair of Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, said; ”Glasgow is a truly multi-cultural city. More than 15% of the city’s population are ethnic minority and we have more than 140 different languages in our schools. We welcome people from all over the world and this event is simply to recognise some of their contributions to our society and an opportunity to celebrate them.” Following the showcase there will be a chance to sample some food from the nationalities represented at the event and information stalls for people to browse. The event is FREE to attend, but people must register before coming along.

The council is making a number of improvements to recycling services across the city. These changes will increase the level of service offered to residents of kerbside properties, tenements and flats. In addition we will be providing information and advice about how to use recycling services throughout Glasgow, the range of materials that can be recycled and the introduction of food waste recycling. Please find enclosed a briefing note which details the recycling service changes to all property types across the city. As one of Glasgow’s Community Councils, these changes are relevant to the community you represent. We are also communicating about the changes with Elected Members, Housing Associations, Tenant and Resident Associations and local community groups to ensure as many members of the community are aware of the improvements as possible. Enquiries should be directed to [email protected]
