Blog Article
Beauty, culture and community education came together in Dublin during the first Miss & Mrs Cross Continent pageant.
Approximately 450 people attended the Dublin programme, where 24 contestants representing seven nations presented their cultures, talents and personal messages.
The organisers worked with The Truth About Drugs Ireland to include an educational element alongside the pageant and cultural performances.
Drug education formed an important part of the event, with guided exhibition tours introducing visitors to information about commonly used drugs. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.
Mayor of South Dublin Cllr. Francis Timmons addressed the audience and highlighted the value of cultural diversity, education and prevention.
Cultural performances added to the programme, including Irish dance, Indian classical dance and traditional Indonesian presentations.
The principal title was awarded to Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer who holds a master’s degree in AI. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.
The pageant showed that public events can celebrate talent and diversity while also addressing important social concerns. The complete story can be read in this report about the multicultural pageant combining cultural celebration with drug education.
