From January 28 to February 1, Fanshawe is hosting its annual International Week, giving students the opportunity to go on an international tour and experience lifestyles, cultures and food from around the world.

Krista Vogt, Fanshawe's international projects and exchange Coordinator, said, "This (week) is all about thinking more international and making students feel at home."

Check out the booths set up in F Hallway throughout the week for the International Bazaar/Cultural Showcase. Each day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., students and organizations will be offering information about how to get involved locally and internationally.

On January 28, a speaker from the Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP) will discuss how students can find jobs abroad from 3 to 4 p.m. in B2010.

Movie nights can be a wonderful way to get to know the culture, lifestyle and language of different countries. Movies will be shown in T1003 at 7 p.m.: on January 29, check out Bollywood film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (You Don't Get Life A Second Time); on January 30, watch Ip Man, a Chinese film; and on January 31 see Latin American film Pan's Labyrinth.

Sports fans will be happy to know there are three different events running during the week to connect students over the love of getting active. Showcases include cricket on January 29 in Gym 3, table tennis on January 30 in the J Mezzanine, and soccer on January 31 in Gym 3.

Throughout the week you can also dine on all sorts of international foods at the restaurants on campus: Saffron's and Olive Oyle's are both creating special international menus, while the Oasis and Out Back Shack are offering a delicious mix of worldly flavours during their International Wing Week.

The fun continues after International Week ends! Fanshawe's Asian New Year Celebration is on February 8 from 6 to 9 pm in B Cafeteria. Tickets are just $15.

There are many other activities running throughout the week, so check out the International Department in E2025 for more information.
