Douglas College Celebrates International Education Week — October 23 - 28 International students at Douglas College will visit local elementary schools for a cross-cul- tural exchange with children. The visits will take place during Interna- tional Education Week at Douglas College in New Westminster from October 23 to October 28. “One of the aims of Internation- al Education Week is to involve the community in activities which will increase people’s awareness of Canada’s role in international education,” says organizer Pricilla Bollo. “To this end, we have contacted a number of elementary schools to find out if there is interest in stu- dents from other countries visiting the schools for a cross-cultural ex- change with the children.” Bollo says the response from teachers in the Lower Mainland has been so enthusiastic that instructors from the English as a Second Lan- guage Program at Douglas College have been forced to turn down many requests. However, because of the overwhelming public interest in the visits, organizers hope that they will be able to follow up on these requests at a later date. International Education Week is part of Douglas College’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. The week will also feature a series of free eve- ning presentations at Douglas Col- lege by distinguished speakers from around the Lower Mainland. Presentations include: “Instructor Training for Developing Couniries” Monday, October 23, 7:30 p.m. Room 2804. David Tickner, Curriculum Consultant from Vancouver Com- munity College, will outline the ex- periences of his College in the development of programs for voca- tional-technical training in post- secondary institutions. Vancouver Community College has been in- volved in International Education since 1971, making it a pioneer in the field. “Tibetans at Home and in Exile” Tuesday, October 24, 7:30 p.m. Room 4245 Dr. Barry Leach, from Kwantlen College, will give a slide presentation dealing with his ex- periences in Tibet. In addition, ar- tifacts and unusual handicrafts will be offered for sale, to benefit Tibetan refugees.
