South Asian Heritage Month Celebrations

August 2, 2023

South Asian Heritage Month (SAHM) first took place in 2020 and runs from the 18 July – 17 August each year.

SAHM seeks to commemorate, mark and celebrate South Asian cultures, histories, and communities.

The month seeks to understand the diverse heritage and cultures that continue to link the UK with South Asia.

South Asian culture has made a significant impact on Britain in various aspects, such as food, clothing, music, words, and the overall ambiance of our towns and cities.

It’s a beautiful display of the rich and proud South Asian heritage that has blended into the British way of life, contributing to the diversity of our nation. Observing South Asian Heritage Month provides us with an excellent chance to embrace and celebrate the history and identity of British South Asians.

It’s crucial to allow people to share their own stories, and this occasion offers an opportunity to showcase what being South Asian in the 21st century entails, while also reflecting on our past and how it has shaped us

Celebrate South Asian Heritage Month on Monday 7 August 2023, Conference Room, Sandwell Education Centre between 12pm – 3pm. Light refreshments will be available.
