Supporting people to lead healthy lives and strengthening our communities
Representation ID: 670
Received: 26/10/2023
Respondent: Medway Culture Club
A diversity hub/ shared safe space would allow for community groups, like Medway Culture Club, to not only support the individual needs of specific demographic communities with in Medway but also to collaborate and encourage positive cultural exchange and racial harmony that may not exist or be prioritised in local schools/workplaces.
If Medway is to be seen as a City of Culture, that supports and celebrates diversity, then it needs to invest in the community and create a safe space for education and cultural exchange (which comes in many forms, CPD professional training, events, workshops, food, music, faith& therapies, etc.).
As Medway is comprised of a rich melting pot of cultures and continues to grow in diversity, it would be beneficial and encourage community cohesion if a diversity hub space was developed to act a community centre where various community based organizations and their activities could take place.
