PLANNING is underway to organise Bangor's first multi-cultural carnival next year.

The news was revealed by former city mayor Doug Madge, who officially launched Coleg Menai's multi-cultural week on Monday.

Such a festival would be put together by the international officers of both the college and Bangor University, and Mr Mad
ge has pledged his support to the idea.

He said: "An event such as this would be very important, as international students have got to feel that the community welcomes them and respects them, and will lend all the help to them it can.

"In doing this, the students will take this friendship away with them to other parts of the world, and spread a positive message about the city of Bangor."

Monday's launch was heralded by street dancing, hair braiding and an acoustic performance as well as numerous stalls representing different countries and Chinese horoscope readings.

The acoustic set was delivered by music technology student Louis Tang, and performing arts students presented a street dancing piece.

Students from the salon services department did the hair, and Welsh Baccalaureate, catering, travel and tourism and hair and beauty students teamed up to create a number of stalls with an array of international flavour.

Coleg Menai international officer, Kathryn Land said: "The multi-cultural week got off to a great start on Monday, and we're very grateful to Douglas Madge for supporting the event.

During the week Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and Welsh classes were also held, and displays on the recent mock-UN Conference attended by A Level students was exhibited in the library.
