>> DANIEL: Well, hi, Fara. I'm just coming from the community centre. They're celebrating International Food Day. People will be making different kinds of food from all over the world. I've eaten so many different kinds of food, it's really cool.

>> FARA: Wow! That's great! I know there are so many people from all over the world that live here. So it's great that they'd have an event like that.

>> DANIEL: Yeah. Being in a diverse society is really cool, just like all our football teams.

>> ALEX: I think that's a great thing about football. It's learning about different people, learning about their cultures. And it makes you grow as a person as well. So to have a changing room full of Spanish people, I've been to America and lived there, it's about embracing and you know, just taking everything that life throws at you.

>> MARK: You learn bits of new language. Sometimes, players bring their own food in which is you get to taste other food.

>> WES: Yeah, we've got a lot different players from all over the world. Lot of people from Africa, South America, from Europe, and you know, it's good to know these people, get a different side of life, and how these people grew up and their experiences as well.

>> ANDREW: So football is following slightly in general becoming even more diverse. If you look at any of the Premier League teams or teams from the championship, they have players from all around the world. We've got South Americans. We've got Asian footballers. We've got people from Africa, who have came and changed the face of football in the country.

>> FARA: Hmm. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be half as much fun living in a place where we're all the same.

>> GIRL 1: I love sports.

>> BOY 1: I love apples.

>> BOY 2: I speak Spanish.

>> GIRL 2: I have a big sister.

>> BOY 3: I like literacy.

>> GIRL 3: I celebrate Christmas.

>> BOY 4: Diversity is important. We need to accept that everyone's equal and sometimes different and not a different colour skin, doesn't matter if they're a boy or a girl.

>> GIRL 4: I think diversity helps make a different, a better friendship great because it leads to different traditions in that group.

>> BOY 5: You would be able to try new foods, go on holiday to new countries, and see different landmarks.

>> DANIEL: But it's also good to recognisewhat we have in common with others or similarities.

>> GIRL 5: More than anything, I love sit skiing.

>> BOY 6: So do I.

>> GIRL 6: More than anything, I love doing gymnastics.

>> BOY 5: So do I.

>> BOY 4: More than anything, I love reading.

>> GIRL 9: So do I.

>> FARA: So that just shows how many things about us are the same and how many things are different.

>> DANIEL: That reminds me, I'm feeling a bit peckish. Shall we go back to the community centre.
