Many Cultures in One Community

Four neighbours at a park picnic start in the same plain clothes. Then the parts of culture appear one at a time: a different hello in each speech bubble (hello, bonjour, hola, nǐ hǎo), bread, rice and noodles on a shared blanket, clothes in many colours and patterns, and a drum, guitar, flute and shakers. The video names language, food, clothes and music as parts of culture, shows neighbours swapping hellos to share and learn from each other, and ends on the recap that one community can be home to many cultures.
