Mostly due to the The British Empire,

the English language spread globally,
nowadays, around 86 countries have it as
their official or second language. In this

New Zealand
• New Zealand is one of the most ethnically
diverse countries in the world;
• It has more than 200 different ethnicities within
communities;
• A quarter of all people who call New Zealand
home were born overseas;
• The culture of New Zealand is largely
inherited from British, Oceanian and European
customs, with Maori and Polynesian tradition.
The Maori People

• Natives of New Zealand

 "I was the only Muslim child at school,
and it was pretty clear I was different to everyone
else. The Māori kids and the Pakeha kids played in
their own groups – I didn't really fit in with either
of them.

"I think now, children are crossing those

cultural barriers on their own at school and the
more it happens, over time, the better we'll get at
recognizing and accepting diversity."
