Alhosn University, a leading Abu Dhabi-based institution, marked the unity and mutual respect among different cultures in the cosmopolitan society of the UAE with an International Day.
The fourth International Day, held yesterday (February 17), saw participation from teams made up of faculty, staff, and students, who delivered presentations and conducted exhibitions that represent different countries and cultures.
At least 16 countries were represented including: Algeria, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and UAE.
“The UAE features a unique fusion of people from different cultures and nationalities,” said Mahasen Al Mahasneh, academic and student counsellor/student activity coordinator.
“This fusion reflects the broadmindedness of the country's leaders and indicates the loving and tolerant nature of the Emirates’ people. I believe that this fusion has been a crucial factor in establishing the UAE's reputation as a highly progressive and forward-thinking country."
Ghada Qabha, student affairs director, said: "For the past four years, students, professors, and university staff have actively supported this commitment by developing creative presentations and exhibitions similar to those that we see today.”
“Their efforts have helped driving greater awareness about the importance of unity and mutual respect among people of different cultures and nationalities,” Qabha concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
