The annual Music Village Festival is an international music festival that brings artists from a diverse range of faiths and backgrounds to perform in London in a celebration of cultural diversity.

During the festival the Music Village School's Programme runs a series of workshops and matinee concerts for school groups in a variety of different art forms and cultural traditions. Participants are between the ages of 9-18 and come from a range of schools in London. The festival takes place during June/July.

Cultural Co-operation is an independent arts charity that promotes cross-cultural contact, dialogue and understanding. In addition to the Music Village School's Programme it runs a wider Education Programme which offers year-round workshops and art residencies in schools. It also provides resource packs for teachers and INSET training sessions. The underlying aim of its educational activities is to celebrate and enhance understanding of cultural and religious diversity and promote community cohesion.
