These activities showcased their skills, fostering unity, teamwork and friendly competition, while also providing an opportunity to reconnect with cultural traditions and build meaningful connections across all ages. 

The event concluded with a prize-giving ceremony, where winners were recognised for their exceptional performances and perseverance throughout the activities. The ceremony marked the end of a day filled with shared traditions and connections.
