Culture Week

With every day dedicated to a specific topic, inc. food, dance, fashion & more, there was lots to enjoy during Culture Week at DCG!

Culture Week wrapped up with a musical masterclass! Staff and students bopped along to some bangers from across the world, including a bhangra demonstration from Media, Games Development & E-Sports Curriculum Manager, Neema Johal, which had the whole atrium on its feet!

The Student Experience and Pastoral support teams proactively encourage and nurture students to deploy effective behaviours and attitudes, fostering understanding and preparing them as professionals at work and as social contributors in life. Student Experience and Pastoral Support Team
