- Breaking down Barriers between black and other ethnic minority and indigenous groups by participating in their activities and also inviting them to ACWA cultural events.
- in the early 90’s our members and their children helped set up a multicultural youth group, to promote African cultures through dance, music, dress, food and poetry. It was to help communities integrate further and understand each other better.
- In 1990 Glasgow was awarded European City of Culture. We had various cultural events through out the year, showcasing the vibrant diverse cultures in Scotland . The events we had were drumming workshops, in conjunction with Pan African Arts, dance troupe (from London and Brazil). We also had a children’s choir and dance group, which performed at Glasgow Green, Botanic Gardens and schools throughout Glasgow.
- Our members were very active in the free Mandela and Anti Racist Campaign, throughout the 80’s and 90’s.
- In 1992, our women were in the forefront of setting up the MERIDIAN Centre, which was in Glasgow City Centre (Fox Street). It was the first ethnic minority women’s Information and resource centre. Unfortunately The centre closed down in 2007.
