Global Cultural Fellow Experience

2017-2018 Global Cultural Fellow

I had the honor of being selected as a Global Cultural Fellow through the Institute for International Cultural Relations during 2017-2018 with the University of Edinburgh and traveled to Scotland to take part in an intense cooperative learning experience discussing culture among 32 distinguished individuals who utilize art to serve as agents of change in the world. We discussed how culture can heal some of the political or social issues and how in some cases, it can create misunderstandings. During our journey, the group attended various cultural events and had a chance to collaborate in small groups to exchange ideas and proposed some possible solutions to the global problems.
