Website Features

The Culture T' Culture website allows you to share pictures, share videos, create a personal profile, write blogs, write in our shout box and communicate with other young people from around the globe. You will be able to make new friends and learn about their lives, including where they are and what they do; what they look like and what they are interested in. Specific themes will be discussed on the website and you will be able to have your say. We will also be working on projects and asking for ideas and feedback.

This is your website and it is an opportunity for you to proud of who you are, as well as challenging your views and preconceptions of others and other communites and cultures.

Welcome to Culture T' Culture

Culture T' Culture is a new and exciting way of interacting with young people across different and diverse communities. The Culture T' Culture website takes the project to a new level. It allows participants to communicate quickly and effectively, and allows them to share pictures, video and information relevant to them and to the project.

The main aim of Culture T' Culture is to bring young people together from communities in Africa and the UK. The diversity in culture in these countries is radically different and provides us with the opportunity to learn from each other through interaction.

The launch of this website marks a year of Culture T' Culture, and so far we have participants from Kenya, Senegal and the UK.

NEWS...NEWS...NEWS...

July 2008 a big thank you to the support of Abicar from Senegal, for perservering with the project over the last year. We look forward to his video diary that is on it's way! Lots of new young people frm Senegal have registered on the site, and new subjects have been discussed.

Remember that you can use the Forum section for any ideas for future group discussions, or just to ask the group any questions! 

CTC welcomes Malawi!!! Malawi is keen to get involved with the group and be part of our Culture T Culture community. The project in Dedza, Malawi is in the process of forming a training centre and providing a youth club for young people in the district. Young people from Norwich are supporting this project and look forward to the first contact with the Malawi members. 

Sally is heading out to Malawi on the 13th September to meet key workers and introduce Culture T Culture to the young people in Dedza. The group in Norwich are looking at ways to fund raise to help establish the training centre. The new centre will provide sustainable training and support for young people, as well as providing an internet link to the outside world.

Any ideas for how you could help and support this project, please post them on the Forum.

The Norwich group is currently making a video for the project, and introducing it's new learners to groups in Senegal, Kenya and Malawi.

Having issues with the project in Kenya. We are looking at new links at present.

Remember; this is your website, to celebrate your culture and learn about other cultures around the globe.

History of Culture T Culture

July 2006 the project was born and working with the groups began.

August 2006 the project received £5000 from the Big Boost Lottery Fund and The Prince’s Trust.

September 2006 Sally Alden, the project founder, visited Kenya to work with the Kenyan young people. This was the fourth visit since knowing the group, but the first time they were all together.

October 2006 the UK group made a video about themselves and Norwich.

November 2006 camcorders were donated to all projects and Kenya made their first video which featured the slaughtering and cooking of a goat. The Norwich group made a video about festivities which included filming and explaining bonfire night, how we celebrate Christmas and how to cook a traditional English Christmas dinner.

December 2006 Senegal received their camcorder and a training association called EFISSAO-CASA in Senegal joined the project.

January 2007 The information leaflet was designed and printed. A visit to work with the group in Kenya was made by Sally and Ollie (The trainer and support worker from the UK)

February 2007 The next video diary was made and sent to all groups. The website was commissioned and started to develop.

March 2007 Sally went back to Kenya to work with the group. The logo and t-shirts have been designed and printed.

April & May 2007 work with the group continued and the UK young people did a project called Carnival Capers. The costumes were based on Africa and the group won £300 for best float in the Lord Mayors procession.

June & July 2007 The website was well underway, the logo was updated and the strap line was added (Culture t’ Culture, Proud of who we are; challenging who we become.)

August 2007 and up to date; Broadland Council Training Services had an Ofsted inspection during which Culture t’ Culture was recognised as a best practice model for engaging young people and promoting citizenship. The Norwich group also went to London to attend The Notting Hill Carnival. The website has been launched.
