It is a detailed presentation that includes how diverse the UK is, how all our clothes, music and sport is so very diverse. It also talks about how to celebrate it and how to respect differences.
It also conatains a wonderful youtube clip from DIVERISTY, which is a great dance celebrating diversity itself.
