Intercultural Forum Made in Sevilla

 
Established in 2008, the Intercultural University Forum came about as a result of conversations held between an ISA student and a local Moroccan student. Their idea was to develop an arena for individuals from diverse backgrounds to listen, share and learn about political and social issues affecting the global community. 

Since its inception, students from four continents have played an integral role in the development, production and execution of all aspects of the event. The forums are planned and produced by the efforts of ISA students, local students of the corresponding University, ISA Morocco and ISA Spain Resident Staff, staff and faculty of universities from four continents, members of the local communities and the various sponsors. 
A place for intercultural dialogue in an original international vision and cooperation. And in English! ... Could you ask for more? Check it out here: www.interculturalforum.org 

A great chance for you to participate! 
Have a nice week.

  2. At last, the forum will have some sense of exchange. The 2nd edition should have been in Seville or Santander.
    The original idea of the forum was mine together with the first isa student group in Meknes. You must be lucky I didn't authenticate it; otherwise I would have sued you for the violation of my copyright.

  3. ISA is not really about genuine cultural exchange and neither are many of the Moroccan participants. The ISA director is lazy and detached, the staff is scrupulous and sneaky and the new staff members are well so
    Americanized," it's untrue.

    It's a game and an expensive one for American students. Any new ideas they have are usually taken form past students or good people whose ideas and intellectual property they steal.

    Ever wonder why they are just getting themselves on the right track?

    I cannot wait for that program to leave the Moulay Ismail Campus, we will be better when they are gone. They do nothing for cultural exchange and our Moroccan students mainly in the English department are the only ones who are playing the game with that ISA program. The new Moroccan American student club is also stolen intellectual property and shame on those who knew this and still became involved. It’s just a bad thing, pointless and self serving mainly to their director.

    The Moroccan students in the English department play the same game with the newly arrived Americans each semester. Time after time the same game with Americans who all look and act the same.

    Poor Moroccans they call us and we call them???

    The same infectious characters from our university involved each semester. We are puppets.Get a life people.
