November diary

From drum workshops to English language classes, from complementary therapies to council meetings, or simply a chance to meet and talk over a cup of tea – here are just a few of the multicultural community activities happening in Edinburgh this month. Please let us know if you want to promote activities open to Leith communities – either here in Leith or elsewhere in the city.
First up: two events for members of Edinburgh’s Polish Community.

Tuesday 7 November CITY CHAMBERS
4.30 to 6pm
Polish community leaders are invited to meet council representatives in the City Chambers to explore the needs of the community and how the city can meet them. This meeting has come from the work of George Rubienski, former head of Craigroyston High School, who is currently carrying out community research for Leith FM.
