17. Diversity in Britain
1700 onwards:
Indians and Chinese
arrived because of
Britain’s growing
Empire and trade with
far off
countries.
21. Diversity of the UK
• Britain, down to its deepest roots,
has always been a diverse nation.
• Our diversity is a result of invasion,
expansion, empire and
Commonwealth, and being a safe
haven for people fleeing danger.
• For over 2000 years people have
arrived in Britain, contributing their
own cultural influence.
• The previous map shows just
some of them!
22. Diversity of the UK
• Much of our diversity comes from the British Empire, which at its
height governed over one quarter of the world’s population – that’s
458 million people!
• After the British Empire collapsed, people from the Commonwealth
migrated to Britain, and countries such as the Caribbean and India
were invited to help strengthen our workforce.
23. Diversity of the UK
• Today, people continue to move all around the world.
• The expansion of the European Union has seen a number of
Europeans come to the UK in recent years.
• Our current population of over 60 million people includes a mix of
people from different racial, religious and cultural backgrounds.
• The 2001 Census shows that about 7.9% of the population are from
minority ethnic backgrounds.
So what mix of culture does this mix of people bring to our
country?
28. Our cultural life
• Ethnic diversity has made our society rich
in culture and contributed to our
economic, social and democratic
development.
• Everything in modern Britain – from music
and fashion to food and language – has
been influenced by different ethnic
communities, cultures and social groups...
29. Our cultural life
• Asian cuisine has become part of the British diet with chicken Tikka
Masala being one of our most popular dishes!
30. Our cultural life
• British young people set the fashion trends worldwide by combining
a unique mix of ethnic styles.
31. Our cultural life
• British music combines influences from all over the world. Some of
our most successful musicians are from ethnic minority groups.
32. Our cultural life
• Sportsmen and women from ethnic minority groups have made
huge contributions to our sporting success and achieved world class
status.
35. How does diversity impact your life?
Two minute challenge
• In pairs, list things in your everyday life that are influenced or come
from other countries. It can be a person in your family or a friend,
music or food, fashion or sport.
• List as many things as you can.
• Each pair will share as a class and there can’t be any repetition.
Can you imagine life without these things?
36. Diverse people, diverse identities
• When we talk about diversity, we don’t just talk about race and
ethnicity.
• Diversity includes all different people, each contributing their own
uniqueness, making Britain a more interesting place to live.
• So diversity includes people of different gender, ages, sexual
orientation, disability, religion, beliefs and more.
• It is important that everyone respects and celebrates each other’s
differences so we can all get along, learn from each other and share
an exciting mix of cultures and experiences.
37. Respect our differences
• It is important to celebrate and respect that we are all different.
• Remember, we are all different in our own way (each one of you),
and we all add something special to the diversity of our country.
• The world would be a boring place if we were all the same!
• Finding out about different cultures and discovering the different
ways that people live and think is fascinating, and helps everyone to
get along and understand each other better.
• So let’s show some respect for difference.
38. What have we learnt?
That our country has a diverse population.
Where our diversity comes from.
That diversity has many benefits and we should celebrate
difference.
