One World Week (OWW) is billed as ‘the world’s largest student-run international event’, and is hosted annually at the University of Warwick. This year’s festival takes place in Week 4 of Term 2, with events running from Saturday 26th January to Saturday 2nd February. 2013 is a big year for One World Week, which is an entirely student-run, non-profit initiative. It aims to stimulate personal development and inspire a view based on acceptance and appreciation of the world’s mosaic of cultures, encouraging awareness of and positive action on issues affecting our One World. OWW 2013 is comprised of five elements - Forum, Festival, Sports, Conference and Nights - and will see campus come alive through a series of debates and discussions, parades and performances, events, workshops, cultural exhibitions and a host of sporting tournaments. We invite you to explore what each of the five elements has to offer by visiting our website at www.oneworldweek.net , and look forward to welcoming you at the following themed days throughout the week:
