Norfolk Our World Festivals Ltd, founded and directed by Gordon Phillips, specialises in multicultural education, including English traditional stories and dance.

Children’s Multicultural Festivals

We have organized over 50 multicultural festivals over the past 15 years with approximately 100,000 pupils and adults in attendance. These figures demonstrate the determination of Norfolk and latterly, Cambridgeshire schools, to prepare their pupils for life in a multi-ethnic society.

East Anglian Traditions

We run tailor made workshops in Traditional East Anglian Customs, mainly in primary schools. These may involve molly dancing, broom dancing, local stories from Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, poetry,  English Country Dancing and local history. We have worked in over 30 schools during the past 3 years totaling nearly 400 half day sessions.

Multicultural INSET

Our multicultural teacher training days, often cluster events, provide hands-on experience in a range of areas including multicultural dance, art & crafts, music, storytelling and drama.
