East and South East Asian Heritage Month 2023

Every September, besea.n invites you to enjoy a month-long, collaborative programme of events, dedicated to East and South East Asian heritage, culture, history and everything in between. It’s a chance to celebrate, acknowledge and learn about the incredible ways in which our communities have helped shape the UK.

This year’s theme: Roots/Routes

This year’s theme is "Roots/Routes," an exploration of cultural identity and belonging. We invite you to delve into the narratives of family journeys and stories, celebrating the rich tapestry of experiences that contribute to our diverse and vibrant heritages.

East and South East Asian Heritage Month is a time to honour and celebrate the deep-rooted connections that shape our identities, while also acknowledging the diverse paths that have brought us to where we are today.

We encourage you to be as free as you like in interpreting the theme; whether you choose to explore the historical roots of your ancestry or trace the routes that have taken you - or will take you - to new lands, the possibilities are boundless.
