Tell us how you celebrate your country’s national day through discussion topics on our Facebook page. Our Twitter hashtag is #connectingcultures |
'Connecting Cultures' celebrates the diversity of the Commonwealth and its role in bringing together many different peoples on the basis of shared visions and values. Through your photos, videos, and stories the Secretariat hopes to showcase the rich tapestry of cultures woven together to create our Commonwealth.

| This month's topic: FOOD |
Each month we’ll focus on a new topic and how your culture is expressed through it: dance, fashion, music, art, etc.
This month we want to hear about your traditional cultural foods. What do you cook, eat, or share with family and friends? How do they represent your culture? How have they changed over the years? What has influenced them? Share a recipe, describe any rituals and traditions around sharing a meal, or discuss the local ingredients used in preparing a traditional meal.
