Global Learning Opportunities Week (GLOW) aims to bring the SLC community together to celebrate, learn and raise awareness of various cultural perspectives from Canada and around the world. Join us for various events throughout the week and help us foster and promote our intercultural and global mindset.
Multicultural Fair
- Kingston | Upper Concourse: Wednesday, January 29th 11 AM – 2 PM
- Cornwall | Aultsville Hall: Thursday, January 30th 11 AM – 2 PM
- Brockville | TBD: Tuesday, January 28th 11 AM – 2 PM
The multicultural fair allows students to proudly showcase their cultural heritage, which displays the many cultures represented in our SLC community. Attendees can see or taste something new or familiar. They had the opportunity to learn new songs or a few phrases in a new language. This fun opportunity allowed the SLC community to learn about the cultures represented from around the world.

Human Books: Read Between the Minds
Do you know you can check out a human book? You will have an informal conversation with someone who comes from various cultural backgrounds and life experiences. The conversations will be held for 30-minute slots and more than one participant can check out the same book with a maximum of three per human book. Human Library promotes acceptance, celebrates differences and challenges our own assumptions and beliefs. It is a great way to learn and connect through storytelling!
- Within GLOW week (depending on the availability of Human Books/Speakers)
