One World Week is now its 20th year!
One World Week is now its 20th year! As well as being the largest student-run festival, it is also arguably one of the most inclusive. Reflecting the diversity of cultures and opportunities on campus, it aims to give students the opportunity to showcase their efforts while encouraging them to reflect about issues that affect our One World.
One World Week is comprised of five elements (Days, Nights, Forums, Conferences and Sports). Over the course of six days, the campus will come alive through a series of debates and discussions, performances, sporting tournaments and events as well as cultural exhibitions and workshops. This year, there are new events such as Performance Day: Showbiz! as well as old favourites such as the World Party and Fashion Show. For more information, please visit www.oneworldweek.net.
