If you’re feeling a little multi-culturally bereft, you can find out about ethnic diversity in the South West with the Cultural Champions programme, run ar the Global Centre in Devon.
On the site, the Cultural Champions quote Brummie Benjamin Zephaniah from the foreword to ‘We all came here from somewhere’ Diversity identities and citizenship, published by Foreign & Commonwealth Office/QIA
‘The British are not a single tribe, or a single religion, and we don’t come from a single place. But we are building a home where we are all able to be who we want to be, yet still be British. That is what we do: we take, we adapt and we move forward…
‘Young people can help to keep Britain a place where everyone is accepted, all cultural identities are respected, and where we delight in the diversity of our nation… The future of Britain relies on people understanding each other.’
(Of course, the same is true of the People’s Republic of South Devon.)
