About the Global Diaspora Village

Heart for the City presents the Global Diaspora Village as part of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, creating opportunities for countries to showcase their culture, tourism, and business potential.

Our Vision

Heart for the City has identified the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games as a great opportunity to promote various African, Asian & Caribbean countries that seek to showcase their products, market their countries and attract skills and investors.

We are setting up a state-of-the-art Diaspora Mini Village in close proximity to most of the Commonwealth Games venues. Each country will have its own outdoor/indoor Pavilion space (circa 250 sq meters).

The Village will offer visitors very high quality corporate hospitality and the platform to promote their own Countries' Tourism & Business investment initiatives.
