Welcome to NECDAF ONLINE

As more people from different countries come to live and work in North East England, the culture of the region grows increasingly more diverse. 

The region is being introduced to forms of art, custom and religious practices that help introduce and understand new neighbours and communities. 

NECDAF is a resource for  the cultural organisations, created by and for those new commumnities to help artists from different countries now living in the region to introduce audiences to ancient arts and practices.

NECDAF works in liaison with public sector agencies to represent culturally diverse arts practitioners living and working in North East England.
