Keele World Festival 2012

The 2012 Keele World Festival took place between 17th January and 9th March. People across the university organised events to support our aim of bringing people together to learn about each other’s countries and customs.

 The School of Nursing and Midwifery ran two events at the hospital campus for their staff and students, these were well attended and extremely informative.

Keele academic staff gave talks on international aspects of their research. Schools and Directorates ran sessions for staff and students.

All the Halls of Residence put on events in celebration of the festival, with activities including demonstrations by Keele student societies, African drum workshops and international food service.

Student talent was celebrated at the international art project, the study abroad photo competition and the song and dance showcase.

Food outlets provided tasty internationally themed menus. Comus prepared and served four recipes submitted by students, the student with the winning recipe (calculated through sales) had a master class with award-winning chef Allan Jones.

We celebrated Chinese New Year with traditional food and activities, World Films were screened and sporting events took place.  A group of students from Kyoto University of Foreign studies spent three weeks at Keele on a short programme.

Two people arrived at Keele as ERASMUS visiting lecturers and members of Keele staff will visit universities in Europe under the same scheme. For more information about this scheme visit:
