New City College was buzzing with colour, music and carnival vibes as each campus hosted its own Culture Day – a lively enrichment event celebrating the many cultures represented in the student and staff communities at NCC.
The initiative – which gets bigger and better each year – brought everyone together to enjoy food, fashion, music and traditions from around the world, fostering inclusivity, understanding and unity across the college.
Ardleigh Green Campus
At Ardleigh Green in Hornchurch, students embraced the energy of the day with immersive VR experiences, henna art, T-shirt decorating and a lively red-carpet dance party, led by the rhythmic beats of the Dhol drums and a campus DJ.
Redbridge Campus
At Redbridge in Chadwell Heath, the campus really came alive with colour, laughter and music. Students pinned their heritage on a world map display, took part in quizzes and dominoes, and enjoyed henna, face painting and international food – all while dancing to DJ Pebz and Dhol drummer Taz.
Tower Hamlets
There was a fantastic atmosphere at Tower Hamlets Campus in Poplar, East London, where staff and students celebrated in style, including a silent disco for SEN students, a red carpet show, and various creative workshops. A raffle was held and all proceeds were donated to a local food bank.
