To top it off one of our very own Outreach students enlightened us with a speech on 'Refugee contributions to society', artworks from the Refugee Art Project were on display, refugee students from Bossley Park High sold their own handmade jewellery and the group danced the afternoon away to traditional Arabic rhythms.
All and all a delightful day that was topped off with a feast of multicultural delights.
