Woven Together is a new community based project in Dundee. We are exploring history of the Black, Asian and other minority ethnic (BAME) community and showcasing their contributions in Dundee.
Contact us - woventogetherdundee@gmail.com
For further information about the project, please visit - https://woventogetherdundee.wixsite.com/woventogetherdundee

Please note - Within this form we have used the widely recognised term Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME). We acknowledge that while this is a long-established acronym, its use is contentious, reductive and does not express the different ethnic, religious, cultural and societal experiences of those grouped together under this umbrella designation. Consequently, while it is convenient for the purpose of this form, we hope that the project as a whole will be able to capture the wide-ranging complexity of the various individuals and ethnic backgrounds involved. Volunteers can of course choose to focus in any one area, community or ethnicity
