« I thought that the forum was very resourceful and informative. The chance to meet and talk with students from other Study Abroad programs was a huge benefit as well. I particularly enjoyed the chance to both watch performances put together by other groups and perform music of my own. It was a very beneficial and uplifting experience. »

TESTIMONIES
OF THE VISITORS
« Happy to be here again a year passed so quickly but helped a lot of us to understand a lot about “the other” as someone who looks like me but different than me.
Let’s make this 5th edition a call to open our hearts and minds to each other and learn from our differences, because diversity is a part of our existence.
Follow the source of light instead of the dark shadows. »
Fatima Zahra Riffi
« Is always a pleasure to share what we are,
To listen what we are,
To enjoy what we are.
Love and good life for everyone. »
