Arab World Cultural Day
Every year, Inalco's student associations bring the heart of the Pôle des Langues et Civilisations (Paris 13th) to life, for one day each, to showcase the cultural and geographical areas they represent. Open to all, these days are a not-to-be-missed annual event!
Arab World Day is an associative event open to the public from 10am to 6pm, to discover Arab culture, language and its history. The student association Assila presents its knowledge around games, exhibitions and fun, free manual activities aimed at everyone.
A buffet is organized throughout the day with a wide selection of products, dishes, savory and sweet fingerfood, as well as various beverages to discover the culinary diversity of the Arab world.
Musical presentations and lectures are broadcast throughout the day in the Inalco auditorium! Specialist researchers and artists will perform on stage, evoking various aspects of the Arab world: language, culture, history, music, politics...
