Culture:
Promoting cultural practices and sharing cultural values is a fundamental aspect of Tokkuma portrait. In this regard Tokkuma stresses on maintenance of family and community relations. Most often migrants arriving in the UK face culture shock (facing real prospect of loss of identity) and this organisation, being well aware of this problem, assists new arrivals from The Region to settle, and blend in with mainstream British way of life while upholding their own cherished cultural values, religious beliefs, and authentic democratic practices.
The Region’s cultureis unique in terms of its tolerance, and for accommodating diversity. Its hallmarks are respect for elders, social responsibility for the community and individuals, helping others, bravery and hard work. Members are duty-bound to actively forestall the slightest occurrence of cultural displacement by ensuring that even as their children learn Shakespearean literature at school, at home they are impressed upon retain knowledge of their background (emphasis on language, names). The collorary is: understanding the past is the key to securing the future.
