The ENACT team delivered the first series of Around the World Club (ATWC) at the Great North Museum (GNM) at Newcastle Upon Tyne from 28 October to 16 November 2025, engaging over 67 families across five drop-in cultural learning sessions. Building on ATWC pilots in seven North- East schools in spring 2025, the museum-based programme offered hands-on language, craft, and cultural activities in Persian, Urdu, Somali, Turkish, Arabic, Iraqi and Sudanese. Sessions showcased strong family participation, with parents playing a key role in sustaining children’s linguistic curiosity through prompting, modelling, and shared discussion. Children demonstrated meaningful recall, with repetition of tool vocabulary during crafts or independently completing word-matching tasks. Families frequently connected target cultural activities to their own experiences and community activities. Feedback indicated high enjoyment. Overall, ATWC provided an inclusive, community-centred learning environment in a wider community space.
