Sharing Our Cultures
For 23 years, Sharing our Cultures has celebrated and showcased our province's diversity by enabling school youth from diverse cultural backgrounds to share aspects of their cultures through interactive exhibits. This multicultural and educational event allows the public to travel the world, learn its many stories and make positive intercultural connections.
Join the conversation with amazing individuals who contribute daily to the social, cultural, and economic development of Newfoundland and Labrador. Listen to their stories in sharing circles and discover the difference they are making in our community.
Sharing Our Cultures is held in recognition of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21), and in celebration of the Province’s Multiculturalism Month.

Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
Following the Senior's Stroll, we will open our art gallery classroom for a guided art activity. All materials are provided, and everyone is welcome to attend.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
For further information, please contact catherineoneill@therooms.ca
