II Cultural Week of Comboni College of Science and Technology in Sudan
Friday, August 19, 2016
The Comboni College of Science and Technology celebrated its II Cultural Week from 6th to 11th August 2016 in Khartoum (Sudan). Inspired by the Encyclical Letter Laudato si’ on care for our common home, the theme of the week was “Discovering our environment in order to care for it”. The scope of the project was to sensitize the students as well as the Sudanese society in general about the importance of the care for the environment and the implications of its destruction. The activities started with a cleaning up of the area surrounding the College, located in the centre of Khartoum, and continued with a fair consisting of eleven different stands.
The students of the Bachelor Arts in English Language and Literature presented the relation between literature and environment and the students of Computer Science and Information Technology presented the relation between technology, internet and environment. The stand about the environment instead introduced concepts like recycling and renewable energies and deepened the implications for health in the lack of care for the environment. Similarly, the stand of fine arts presented the theme through different artistic works.
In a second kind of stands the students presented the richness of their natural patrimony (Sudan, Eritrea, South Sudan and Ethiopia) and the threats to it.
There was also a stand on Comboni and the Comboni College where Muslim and Christian students presented together to the hundreds of visitors the life of our founder and the contribution of our institutions to education.
The week was concluded with a concert in the courtyard of the Secondary School attended by 1,600 people who enjoyed the music of the Band of the Faculty of Music and Drama of Sudan University of Science and Technology.
