Global Connections Presentations, Pecha Kucha Style
In honor of International Education Week we are holding this special event (during our Global Cafe) to give internationally-minded students the opportunity to share their stories with the Tulane community. The theme will be “Global Connections”, and students returning from study abroad will describe highlights from their experience and members of the international community will be sharing their stories of adapting to the States, stories from home, and highlights from their research and work here at Tulane.
- When: Monday, October 17th, 3:00 to 5:00 PM
- Where: Pedersen Lobby, LBC (Bldg. 29)
What is Pecha Kucha?
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. For more information, visit www.pechakucha.org.
