Indian Summer Group

We are a friendly community group based in Hertfordshire. Our main aim is to raise awareness in our region by organising events that share culture, art and ideas. We want to work with all ages, religions, nationalities, ethnicities, languages, abilities and well, basically everyone who is interested! Have a look at our objectives.

There is well-documented evidence that direct exposure to groups or activities can counteract prejudice and intolerance if the exposure is rewarding, or of mutual interest. Many events in our area tend to be directed at one specific community group at a time, or have the goal of exposing one specific people group without forming any long-lasting relationships. The Indian Summer Group encourages collaboration that involves different people groups so that they can share ideas and work together in a positive way, whilst highlighting their commonality. We hope this will create an environment that is supportive and conscious, whilst allowing people from different backgrounds to get to know each other, build bridges and form strong relationships.

These are the kinds of projects we would like to run:

- Youth outdoor survival weekends, hikes, bike rides
- Environmental awareness workshops, debates and initiatives
- Traditional cooking workshops
- Spiritual practise and cultural history workshops
- Yoga and meditation
- Music, art, storytelling and dance workshops
- Film workshops
- Multi-cultural festivals
