School celebrates Turkish culture
ALEXANDRA Park School, where Turkish is the main second language of the student body, celebrated its multicultural makeup at an International Evening held on Friday (24 February).

2 March 2006
The Haringey school, which teaches pupils from the borough’s rich Turkish, Greek, Zimbabwean, Danish and Swedish communities, invited parents and family members to lay on colourful stalls of food and handicrafts in a bid to raise understanding between cultural groups. The Turkish stall, coordinated by parent Emine Arslan, sold Turkish coffee, pastries and Turkish delight, and displayed flags, traditional dress and crochet work. Mrs Arslan, also former president of the Association of Turkish Women in Britain, told the London Turkish Gazette: "Ours is the richest and most extensive of all the stalls here; we have so many enthusiastic Turkish parents willing to chip in."
The evening also featured shows and exhibitions by students willing to showcase the traditional dances and games of their cultural backgrounds, with one child giving a backgammon lesson to spectators.
Organiser and PTA member Anni Ciltern said: "Turkish is the most spoken second language in the school. We represent so many communities here that we really wanted to celebrate our diversity by giving the children a chance to get to know one another’s backgrounds. Tonight people will be singing, dancing, playing instruments; we will have a jazz band and samba dancers. The stage is open to anyone who would like to give us a taste of their culture."
