Intercultural feast at St James

An intercultural feast of music, dance, food, film and literature from around the world at St James Cavalier launched activities marking the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.

Members of the Indian, African, Arab, Chinese and European communities residing here took part.

Over 400 people attended a musical preview of sounds created by Maltese, Congolese, Sudanese and Eritrean musicians and singers.

The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue is an initiative of the European Union and is coordinated locally by St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity.

The national project entitled 5 is co-funded by the Ministry for Tourism and Culture and supported by the National Lottery Good Causes Fund.
