In June 2026, ENACT collaborated with NASCIC’s 50+ Ukrainian community group in Lewisham, London, where five Ukrainian women shared the traditional art of Ukrainian cross‑stitching (vyshyvka) , documenting both the craft and the stories behind it for publication on the ENACT platform.
Entrants were asked to create an activity across several categories, including - a new language for the app, an endangered language, materials produced by a group of children, and most budget-friendly materials. Our four 2025 finalists produced amazing activities and all received a £100 prize!

British Museum, London, 18 May 2026
On 18 May 2026, ENACT visited the British Museum with eight MA students studying TESOL, Intercultural Communication, and Museums and Galleries in Education. The session invited participants to explore Colombian masks through museum collections, online research, digital learning activities, creative making, and embodied performance.
"A mask behind glass can be appreciated as an artefact, but when it is worn on a face it becomes much more personal and dynamic. Wearing the mask brought the culture to life in a way that viewing it in a display case could not. Some meanings associated with movement, performance, participation, and identity only became apparent through the practical activity."
We now have four schools in our network from Honduras, China, Turkey, and England! Find out how to join below.
