About
Building community, bridging cultures, and fueling our city’s economic heartbeat.
Norwich Has Always Been a Global City
Norwich has always been a city with more than 25 languages spoken across its 9 square miles. Global City Norwich was born from one simple belief: that diversity is not a challenge to manage — it’s a superpower to celebrate.
We started as a vision rooted in Norwich, and we’ve grown into a full ecosystem of cultural events, entrepreneurship programs, and community activation that puts people first.
Bobbie Braboy
Director
Bobbie Braboy leads Global City Norwich with one goal: make Norwich a place where every culture is celebrated and every entrepreneur has a shot.
"Everything I do is for the people of Norwich, the vendor trying to make it work, and the kid watching from the sidewalk wondering if this city is for them. It is. That's what Global City is about."
