Keep the culture close, wherever home is.
Living far from home, it’s easy for culture to fade a generation at a time. The Culture Hub brings African stories, celebrations and everyday traditions to families in the diaspora through classes and events.
WHY CULTURE
“Culture and language are inseparable. Understanding one deepens the other.”
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CULTURE HUB
Everything that makes a community feel like home.
Celebrations
The festivals and holidays that bring communities together, and the meaning behind them.
