International Insights
In 1999, RIC opened its International Insights series to the public. These evening events feature a panel of speakers from another country or culture, who provide greater awareness and understanding of their society. Speakers are selected who represent different views and experiences within the featured country.
NEXT EVENT: International Film Discussion
Join us to see this noted intercultural studies film – the first in a projected series of such films by Producer/Director Arnd Wächter – that focuses on the experiences and reflections of 8 young adults,
4 American and 4 Moroccan, as they spend a week travelling through Morocco together, staying with families, learning about each other’s values and reflecting on their own preconceptions of ‘the other’.
Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010
Time: 7 pm – 9 pm
Location: Rochester Institute of Technology, Booth Bldg. 7A, Webb Auditorium (#1350)
Parking: D or E Lot campus map
Admission: Free and open to the public
The screening of the 75 minute film will be followed by a panel discussion and then light refreshments.
