Namaste,
Big cultural events coming up in Auckland and Wellington this week with Diwali, festival of lights, showcasing the Indian community's customs and traditions. Asia:NZ are big sponsors of these events, which involve a lot of colour, music (traditional and contemporary) and food.
As an annual visitor in Wellington, the change in venues from the MFC/Town Hall to the TSB arena means a little bit of the aesthetic has been lost, but I am sure this is to do with the increasing popularity of the event. Indeed, the whanau had to queue for about 30mins last year to just get in the arena, so pick your time if you intend on going.
Some of you may also want to check out the Level 1& 2 and Level 3&4 units of work that the good people at Asia:NZ have made available to build Diwali into your teaching.
