Social gathering for foreign students
Students from Rumenia singing a Rumenian song
AAUC had the pleasure of inviting our foreign students and some of their Norwegian contacts to a social gathering 13 November.
The gathering was organized in cooperation with and had participants from Aalesund Rotary Club, Aalesund Inner Wheel Club and the Student Welfare Organisation, in addition to foreign students and Norwegian mentor students.
The gathering was chaired by Peder Solem, Rotarian and also former Rector and International Coordinator at AAUC. Theodor Lorentzen held an interesting talk about Multicultural Aspects in the Globalization of Today. Our foreign students also contributed with songs from Rumania, Tanzania and other countries and also with interesting stories from their meeting with Norway.
Similar gatherings have been arranged annually for some years now. The intention is to get better acquainted with our foreign students and contribute to more contact outside the campus, and also give our foreign students the possibility for meeting other Norwegians than they meet in their daily life as students in Ålesund.
