Internationalism!

KAUST boasts a very diverse and international community, and rightly so.

Last week, the KAUST schools, (ECC, Elementary and Secondary) celebrated a week of internationalism. A variety of events were organised by the Student Council:

 - Initiation of the celebration with a lighting of a candle
 - A compilation movie of students welcoming everyone to their countries
 - International Desserts.
 - PARADE of the nations.

The highlight of the week was definitely the parade on the last day, where all 3 schools + parents + KAUST executives came and participated in this parade. 70+ large flags were set up and people were organised into the country they would like to represent, and marched down the road:

The internationalism represented was quite overwhelming, as people came to school dressed up in traditional clothing wearing large smiles as they got to hold their flags amidst such a diverse community. Certainly, a very large percentage of the population represents Saudi Arabia, but that can only expected and does not affect the bias of our international community:

Only a few of the flags.
