Cultural Art Stations:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Kids and adults can create art pieces (like flags, patterns, or symbols) that represent their heritage \u2013 for example, bracelets and henna designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">2. Story Circle:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Adults and children share folktales or personal stories from their cultures in an interactive storytelling session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">3. Music and Dance Exchange:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Teach simple Nigerian, Jordanian, and Arabic dances, or songs, with a collaborative dance circle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">4. Cultural Potluck:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Everyone brings a small, easy-to-make dish to share and provides some background to the food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-AU\">The people resident in the Corralea extend to a broad array of nationalities and cultures including Jordanian, Nigerian, Somali, Pakistani, and Iraqi which will serve to enrich the event.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":36723,"template":"","class_list":["post-36722","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Diversity on our Doorstep - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This project seeks to demonstrate the creative diversity of recent arrivals in the Tuam area \u2013 with a particular focus on the International Protection community resident in the Corralea Court Hotel.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/diversity-on-our-doorstep\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Diversity on our Doorstep - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This project seeks to demonstrate the creative diversity of recent arrivals in the Tuam area \u2013 with a particular focus on the International Protection community resident in the Corralea Court Hotel.
