One World By The Sea Festival celebrates cultural diversity and showcases Poole and Bournemouth as welcoming, international and inclusive. This is the second year the Festival has run and last year’s event featured international music, cuisines and world cinema. Full line up is TBC but will take place at venues across Bournemouth and Poole. Plans include a global discovery event in the Lansdowne area, an evening of international music in Westbourne, an afternoon of cultural pop up events on Poole High Street and a family day in The Triangle featuring food, music, dance and sport from around the world, plus a procession of sambistas.

The event is organised by the International Education Forum for the area, with input and involvement from both BU and the BU International College.
