Experience Chinese New Year at our vibrant Dragon Dance on Monday 11 February at 1pm. It’s a great way to kick off Global Week and start exploring the ancient Chinese traditions.

Why not have a go at Tai Chi, a type of Chinese martial art or listen to an expert on Chinese Medicine.
If that’s not your thing, try Chinese Dumpling making in George Eliot building, Clifton campus Monday 1pm – 3pm, tasting allowed!

Fancy a change from sandwiches, jacket potato or chips? Everyone’s welcome at our Global Festival of Food, taking place throughout the week at the City site. How many different cuisines can you experience in a week? Look out for:

It’s all Greek to me, Wurst Class (German), Nada Budya (Malaysian), SFiCE (Vegetarian, Indian Cuisine), Ank Marvin (Exotic game animal BBQ), Nkon (Cameroonian), Japanese Ideas (Sushi), Jiko Grill (Tandoori grill), Peitanze (Italian Arancini).

International films and global film production have been making an impact on the British scene for some time now. Come and see for yourself as students from the School of Art, Design and the Built Environment show you what they think is the best International film, and on Wednesday 13 February you can join the Korean Society for a film night featuring the King and the Clown - Korean’s biggest grossing film.

We’ll also be playing international cartoons throughout the week at The Point Bar on Clifton Campus.

Physical performances have long been an expression of culture and history all over the world. This is your chance to watch and take part in these sensational art forms.

For a relaxed lunch time activity, why not try your hand at Tai Chi - a traditional Chinese martial art used for both defensive training and health benefits.

Then from China to Brazil, we whisk you away to the fast and fluid world of Capoeira. An art form which combines fight, dance, rhythm and movement. Capoeira is a dialog between players and one not to be missed.

You’ll also get chance to see a Gatka display and watch this magnificent Sikh weapon-based marital art, most commonly associated with the Punjab region.

And finally to Korea to take a look at one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts – Taekwondo.

Starting with the traditional Dragon Dance. Come and watch a skilled team of performers bring this motionless serpent to life during the Chinese New Year celebrations!

Then get involved and try your hand at Bollywood dancing, a combination of classical Indian dance and folk dancing such as Bhangra.

We also have the Brazilian art form of Capoeira, combining fight and dance in spectacular style.

Love music, dancing and the beat of the drum, then come and experience a variety of music from across the globe.

From China we have dance performances featuring the Chinese Flute and, an NTU favourite – the powerful calypso sounds of the Caribbean Steel Band.

Then we conclude the week-long celebrations in Newton with the uplifting and enriching sounds of the African Gospel Choir.

Brightening up the Newton building, Rangoli Artists will be creating colourful works of art. A folk art from India, these decorative designs are traditionally made on the floor as a sacred welcoming during the Hindu festivals.

Why not become a piece of art yourself and be transformed with the traditional body art of henna? And for something a bit different - watch and listen to Malaysian stories through shadow puppetry!

At NTIC, we are proud to host more than 50 different nationalities of students and staff. Offering a wide range of university preparation programmes, we encourage students to draw on their diverse backgrounds and experiences in order to engage in cultural exchange.

During Global Week, we would like to invite you to this celebration of diversity. Come and visit our showcase of students' work, exhibiting this cultural exchange in our in-house conference room. We look forward to welcoming you...

Each year over 250 NTU students take up the opportunity to study or work overseas. This is a unique opportunity to live in some of the world’s most amazing places but also to learn about new cultures, improve language skills and of course it looks great on your CV!

During Global Week we will be presenting our worldwide partners and countries as well as giving you the opportunity to talk to us about what work or study abroad can offer you and how you can fund it.

Keep an eye out for all our events during Global Week and see where in the world NTU can take you!!
