The project strengthened the sense of citizenship and showed how proud, cohesive and diverse Scottish communities are, and how these communities can feel included and integrated at the heart of Scottish society. The workshop improved the confidence and assertiveness of ethnic minority women by helping shed light on many talented and assertive speakers and performers. The project was a wonderful way to introduce EWfC to a wide range of organisations, agencies and policy makers through a wonderful fusion of different cultures in an environment celebrating heritage!Funded by BEMIS Scotland as part of the 2017 Scottish Year of History Heritage and Archaeology, this was EWfC's very first project! It aimed to celebrate Scotland's diverse community and heritage, and how it interacts and relates to other cultures. Our project was successful in creating and facilitating the opportunity and environment for friendly and happy cultural interaction! 
We brought together a wide range of diverse communities to listen to an informal talk from two community activists. The two speakers inspired and encouraged a vibrant and interactive debate about two subjects:The history of diverse Glasgow, with a focus on Glasgow’s role of supporting South Africans during their struggle against the Apartheid. Presented by Mr Elkhatim Abdalla“Real Scot”, presented by Mrs Verene Nicolas
Communities were also brought together to share food from different cultures, and dance to music from the wonderful band “GTown”, led by the beautiful singer Rachael.
