When November comes at Esdes Business School, everybody knows it is Global Village time! And this year was no different\u2026<\/p>

Located in the heart of Lyon, Esdes Business School is known for hosting a lot of dynamic events, always aiming to promote and represent the diversity that lives inside the school and animate its vibrant student life. One shining example of this is the \u201cGlobal Village\u201d. Despite a brief hiatus in 2020, this event has consistently brought together students all around the world, showcasing the international spirit that thrives within the university<\/strong>.<\/p>

A celebration of multiculturalism and gathering of students<\/strong><\/h2>

This annual event, organized by Esdes international students with the participation of all international student of the Catholic University, serves as a way to unite students from numerous cultures and countries in order to celebrate diversity, multiculturalism and global citizenship<\/strong>. Each and every one of them have the opportunity to proudly showcase their country and culture to the entire university community!<\/p>

The main objective of the Global Village is to highlight the international presence at UCLy. But, with more than 80 nationalities represented at Esdes alone, it is safe to say that the event also provides a unique opportunity for French students to engage with their international counterparts. Many of them, see this experience as a bridge, connecting French students with international students coming from potential future destinations for study exchanges and semesters abroad.<\/strong><\/p>
