[Imc-outreach] International Education Week

[Colleen Cook]

Hi guys,

I spoke with Outreach about this, but haven't brought it up to video yet. 
Early this next year, the university is working with the community to create 
"International Education Week". It will take place February 25-March 6. I 
was thinking this could be a really interesting outreach project to 
introduce more people to the IMC. On their website, organizations can list 
events taking place around town. It is pretty much free PR for anything that 
seems to fit into their broad parameters of "international". So I was 
thinking that we [the video group] should get in on this, and show some of 
our "international" videos of resistance from around the world. Have a mini 
international film fest one day during their dedicated week. It would be 
pretty easy to set up, and might bring in a lot of people who have never 
heard of us. Comments anyone???

Here is a bit more info on everything if you are curious....

International Education Week Planning Committee at the University of 
Illinois is hosting International Education Week, "Exploring a World of 
Opportunities Through the Illinois Lens" on February 25-March 6.  We are 
trying to involve the community as well as the campus in this celebration of 
all things international.
