Promoting the importance of cultural diversity and social inclusion is central to the aims of YOUMANITY - several projects are delivered every year to promote the importance of cultural diversity and social inclusion.
One such project is Stories of Friendship - a collection of historical videos celebrating the connection which developed over the years between people from different ethnic background (see previous videos below).
Our next video will trace the arrival of the Asian - Hindu, Sick and Muslim -communities to Britain, to mark the important contributions they made to help create the all-inclusive society that we know today.
Stories of Friendship - Asia will include original photographs taken in Britain between the 50s and the 70s recording everything - from family moments, like weddings and christening, to big community and political events.
Chairman Angelo Iudice said:
"This project seeks to start a dialogue, no matter how small, to shine a light on the importance of cultural heritage and the contributions ethnic communities make to London's melting pot.
I feel that it is with these small starting steps that change comes and a new-found appreciation of cultures develops which can only be a force for good."
