3. AYY’s development cooperation week
During AYY’s development cooperation week, global affairs take over the campus in the last week of October.
Why do we engage in development cooperation? How can technology improve the world? What kind of projects does the university have in the developing countries? How about a career as a healer of the world? The development cooperation week is part of the annual theme week funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which brings global development issues among students. AYY’s week on 26 Oct-30 Oct 2015 includes theme workshops, problem solving, international fairs, inspiring lectures, international speakers – not forgetting languages, cultures and culinary delights of the world.
Join the development cooperation week and see the world with new eyes! Like the week on Facebook and check out the entire programme on AYY’s website.
