Photo Gallery: Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s International Peace Village celebrates 68 years of showcasing global diversity on campus
The cultures and stories of international students who come to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» from 103 countries were highlighted last month in recognition of International Education Week
For nearly seven decades, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» has provided a platform for international students to share their cultures, music, languages, and perspectives at the annual Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» International Peace Village.
The event, which is part of International Education Week, took over the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union Lee & Frank Goldberg Courtyard for an afternoon last month. This year marks the 68th Peace Village celebration, which serves as a catalyst for students to make cultural connections with peers attending Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» from across the globe.
Entertainment at Peace Village expanded this year, thanks to new collaborations among campus organizations. Events included music and dance performances, as well as a Henna Workshop and Dabke Dance Workshop. A vibrant Lion Dance exhibition by the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s Vietnamese Student Association kicked off Peace Village, followed by a K-Pop Traditional Korean Dance Performance featuring Marlene Baldonado, and a colorful, high energy Folklorica Mexican Danza exhibition by Chula Vista-based Wa-Kushmaa.
This year’s Peace Village is a collaboration between Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s International Student Center, Center for Intercultural Relations, Associated Students, Student Affairs & Campus Diversity and the University Seal of Biliteracy & Cultural Competence.
