From the West Suffolk College
A former Manchester United trainee who attended the festival at the same time as Wayne Rooney and Christiano Ronaldo was one of the many attendees. The festival's focus was on equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
Aaron Burns, who represented the under 23s while playing for Old Trafford from 2004 to 2007, joined a number of other distinguished speakers this week at a gathering at West Suffolk College.
At the Bury St Edmunds College, they all took part in an EDI festival where hundreds of primary and secondary school students, current workers, and students came to learn more about different cultures.
The art exhibit by recent Ukrainian war refugee Oleksandra Shevchenko also grabbed attention.
The event is a component of a campaign Ellisha Soanes, coordinator for equity, diversity, and inclusion at the Eastern Colleges Group (ECG), has created to try and get black history on the UK curriculum all year long.
Ellisha, who received a national Presidents Award for her efforts from the Association of Colleges (AoC) in 2021, said: "Working across the ECG, we are encouraged to join together to make positive change."
I'm still pushing to have black history taught in all UK schools.
Ivy Scott, a member of the Ipswich Windrush Society, complimented Ellisha and the College for their outstanding work.
