The Plymouth Respect Festival is designed to promote respect and celebrate diversity across all areas of the community. The festival organised by the Plymouth and Devon Racial Equality Council and hosted by Plymouth University in 2013.
Since its launch 16 years ago, the festival has traditionally taken place every October, although it took a break in 2012. In previous years, the festival has included parades in the city centre, live music, dancing and theatrical events, play activities, world food, information stands and many showcased events.
Over 80 people attended a coffee morning at Plymouth People First to learn more about the Plymouth Respect Festival and raise money for the ‘Step Up 4 Respect’ project.
Plymouth People First is an organisation for adults with learning disabilities and this will be the first time they will be attending the Respect Festival.
