GLOBAL VILLAGE [July 29, 2011 Jamshedpur]:
Global Village is an event that involves interns from various countries under one roof, each of them
displaying the culture of the country they belong to, each of them trying their own bit to erase the
boundaries we’ve built over time. It is a celebration of the diversity so prevalent in this world we live in.
The event not only allows interns to gain insight into the cultures from the countries and territories around
them, it also builds up their awareness and pride around their own backgrounds in a fun and engaging
way.
We had nine interns from five countries – USA, UK, Tunisia, China and Russia who participated in our
Global Village. It was a great festival of colors, cuisines and cultures and the people get a chance to meet
and interact with the foreign nationals, who make AIESEC a truly global organization. The theme of
Global Village is “Breaking boundaries, creating bonds”.
All the 09 interns involved in, Friends of AIESEC and our Organizing Committee were instrumental in
organizing this event. We had a turn-out of more than 200 students from different schools of Jamshedpur
along with their parents. For the first time we had conducted Global Village outside IIT Kharagpur and the
response was really good.
