The Dialogue Society North East Branch, in partnership with NEDES and Bensham Grove Community Centre, proudly hosted a Gateshead Community Dialogue Iftar & Diversity Dinner, supported by Gateshead City Council. This landmark event brought together outstanding community members from all walks of life to celebrate connection, inclusion, and the spirit of Ramadan.
The evening was enriched by a variety of cultural and interactive experiences. Guests were inspired by Fraser’s poetry reading, mesmerised by live Ney performances, and engaged in art workshops, Kahoot games, and thought-provoking table discussions. Attendees also savoured authentic Anatolian cuisine, creating a truly immersive and welcoming environment.
The event embodied the theme “Ramadan is Community”, highlighting the transformative power of dialogue, collaboration, and shared cultural experiences. It was made possible through the dedication of our volunteers, partners, and supporters, whose commitment ensured a memorable and impactful evening for all.
This event stands as a testament to the Dialogue Society’s mission to foster understanding, celebrate diversity, and strengthen community bonds across the North East.
